@slothrop Proton is not sponsoring this Vincent. They have a program that if you bring a new client you get a small amount. https://proton.me/partners

And the personal page this Vincent is referring to has been taken down. Check yourself https://proton.me/VincentLapierre

Same... Luckily I was only using the free tier.

@drsbaitso @alice @slothrop @fastmail @Tutanota did you cancel before the billing cycle expired? If so, did they do a partial refund? I still have 1.5 years paid for.

[drsbaitso@infosec.exchange]

@gabriel @alice @slothrop @fastmail @Tutanota I'd only done annual billing, not multi-year. I migrated a few weeks before expiration, so I didn't even both with asking for a partial refund.

@slothrop @protonprivacy - WTAF?

[moortaube@mstdn.io]

@slothrop Is that true, @protonprivacy?

[tubsta@social.bsdlab.au]

@slothrop @thelinuxEXP looks like Proton is up to its usual garbage again

@danie1 @slothrop
I was looking for independent verification of this claim, and your comments Danie feel more like the truth. I use Proton and like it, so I don't think I need to rush out and drop it, although the original post was certainly eye catching.

We are resellers. They don’t make it easy to find the Workspace link, but you can do it this way.

Go here. https://go.getproton.me/aff_c?offer_id=50&aff_id=5239
That will take to a deal for Proton VPN.
On that page, scroll down to the section called “Choose a plan and protect your business.”
Click the option on the right for Workspace Standard. It will show the discounted rate of $12.99.

They apologized to us — this deal is so new that the links aren’t totally set up yet.

This is fake news, it is just an affiliate link. Please stop this nonsense

What are you talking about? His social media handle is andyyyen. Why is everyone on this thread spreading fake news? Do better.

To be fair I looked the guy up and he was born in 1988. I'm quite sure that there is no intended connection to the nazi meaning.

[nileane@nileane.fr]

@gotofritz @slothrop If that's the case, that's up to Proton to clarify. Because right now it's presented as a sponsor: the video has a sponsor segment, and Lapierre even thanks Proton for sponsoring him.

If he's lying, then Proton should state that he lied.
+ him "just using an affiliate link" would still mean that Proton is okay with a fascist influencer bringing them money and customers.

Until we get rid of the "TECHBRO" or breed them out and get ourselves the ever-elusive "TECHMENSCH" there will always be an enshittificatory factor around and startups and emerging companies that are thought of as prey.

People shall not be free until the last techbro is strangled with the entrails of the last megapreacher.
