  I’m curious to know why, can you explain or point to an article?

    I could but it’s pretty simple. You’re the owner of that domain. Any accounts/communications with that domain can be traced back to you.

      As opposed to an email address that can be traced back to you?

      And who and why are we talking about anyway? Who’s taking you if you have a domain?

        That’s what aliases are for.

        Who’s tracking you if you have a domain?

        About a thousand different companies and a few dozen governments.

  What makes you think Proton is trustworthy?

    I don’t trust anyone. You don’t have to trust them. That’s the point. Everything is open source and encrypted.

    But aside from that they’ve been audited several times and they’re trusted by the community.
