Proton Mail Says It’s “Politically Neutral” While Praising Republican Party
The “privacy-first” company surprised its user base when CEO Andy Yen lauded Trump on social media.
I’m hoping email will be replaced by the protocol companies agree upon when the Digital Markets Act kicked in and forced interoperability between messaging clients. Once that happens, hopefully all we will need to share is
$username@serviceand be able to communicate using a secure protocol.When that will happens is another question though. I really thought implementation would’ve been done by now since Matrix already is the right protocol for interopability, but it looks like Facebook wants to or has already built a custom protocol with demands to track users 🙄 I hope the EU commission will have a word with them.

I’m just flabbergasted by the fact that Email is now like 40+ years old(!) and nobody ever invented a worthy successor that saw some adoption. And we all know mail has some severe issues.
I also think it should be combined with messaging. But I mainly need it to be electronic letters. I want my bank statements, bills etc in that format. And be able to contact any business with it. Plus friends and family, the government etc and use it to coordinate things at work. And I think the internet made some advances since the 80s. We could include multimedia, sending large files, exchanging instant messages and maybe make it an identity provider so we also solve authentication, passwords and age verification on the internet. All of that isn’t really hard and there is quite some demand for all of these issues being addressed by one uniform solution that is actually out there and usable.
But it seems to me not even the technology has been drafted/designed yet. So surely it can’t be adopted when it doesn’t even exist (yet).
