I noticed that recently every post on Proton’s blog has been an advertisement of their services.
They are hypocrites.
A few days ago they posted that corporations are bad because it collect fingerprints, profile users, etc., yet they are no better, as their mobile apps rely on Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) owned by Google to deliver notifications to their users.
In 2020 they wrote that they were working on an alternative method of delivering notifications, but apparently shitting on corporations is easier than making actual changes.

That’s a google services issue. That’s Google’s fault.

It was their choice to not exclude this knowingly-evil service from their applications though.

Yes. It’s still the fact that Google monopolizes shit. Same thing with Apple by the way.

But there are apps that have been built with Google-independent notifications. Proton could have supported UnifiedPush, for example, yet they decided not to.
