Comment on ProtonMail Logged IP Address of French Activist; Should You Be Worried About Your Privacy?
Ulrich@feddit.org 16 hours agoEmail is much more difficult to configure than most of these services. Some of them require no configuration at all. You just open the app, type in the recipient’s address, and Bob’s your uncle.
For others, it’s already available through community projects like AdminForge and Disroot.

Users don’t need to configure email that’s kind of the point… and the receiving side of most of your techs still had to eventually setup the server side right? Adminforge is Linux tutorials, hardly something for the basic user. And disroot has not the best reputation if I can trust the few top links in my search results due to its gtc where they mentioned that they would collaborate in criminal investigations as well.

Users don’t “need” to configure these services either. That’s the entire point.
You can either configure it yourself, or use someone else’s that has configured it for you. Or you can choose one of the p2p services that simply don’t require any configuration. That’s the entire point.
AdminForge runs a variety of services for public use.
Much like Proton (and every other company/org), they have to either choose to comply or close up shop.

But then you need to trust another party which is just moving the problem along…

These are your choices. There’s no other way.
