#Protonmail has started using #Google #reCAPTCHA: https://github.com/ProtonMail/WebClient/issues/242 And yes, it's also disturbing that they use #Microsoft #Github.
@Salastil The problems w/MS #Github are direct privacy offenses to a small extent (Tor users get bad treatment) & indirect privacy offenses to a large extent (MS profits from privacy abuse so any time you use any of their services you help a privacy abuser's bottom line). Github is also detrimental to quality of #freesoftware by discouraging bug reports:

@Salastil As for storing email at #Protonmail, that's a non-issue because it's encrypted (e2ee & at rest). If it's unencrypted mail that triggers your comment, that's a valid concern. I have no idea to what extent people use Protonmail for plaintext email. PM-to-PM & PM-to-external-PGP only exposes metadata to mass surveillance programs to the extent that the Swiss jurisdiction has them.
@Salastil For threat models that include targeted surveillance, Protonmail is generally a bad choice because they can selectively push malicious javascript. But there is a control for that: anonymously download #Electronmail. That ensures that you're running the same static js that everyone else is.
