      Because it’s dumb.

      Proton then stated that they “stand with journalists” but “cannot see the content of accounts and therefore cannot always know when anti-abuse measures may inadvertently affect legitimate activism.”

      Every legitimate email service has anti abuse policies in place. The alternative is letting the service be turned into a bot farming operation, or worse.

      Still waiting for your recommended alternatives.
