We already requested removal, but main repo owner declined to remove this domains :(
Leave Proton alone ffs, without them I would have my Internet seriously limited by default by UK isps and the moronic Government that just wants everything to be it’s own propaganda.
That’s why I posted this. I hope we will find a way to unblock Proton
Blocking disposable emails is like fighting a hydra, they will always outplay a black list. This just hurts the legitimate users not on a popular provider.
If the repo owner declined the request, that’s pretty much the end of it. They own it, they can do what they want.
He thinks that it is because of anonymous registration. But Outlook provides it too…
I also have the same problem, hope to find the best solution!
Why does anyone care? This library has no public dependants, and low double-digit weekly downloads. Nobody’s using that crappy library in the first place because the idea as a whole is incredibly dumb and futile.
Unfortunately, I contacted support of some local websites, and they said that they wouldn’t white list any domains and I need to contact this list owner
This is the second time this month some overzealous moron decided to add these because they can be used for burner accounts, as if other services cannot. People like this are why we as a species haven’t advanced more.

I don’t think removing protonmail is the correct solution.
This is a list of email providers that facilitate temporary email addresses. So adding outlook and Apple to that list makea more sense to me?

But inclusion of Proton domains makes many Proton users to be unable to register on websites. It is only helping google to keep monopoly and it is simply privacy harming

How do you know this?
Besides that, this is just a list providing burner email addresses. Adding Outlook to this list makes sense. If sites are using this list as a blocklist that would cause issues, forcing them to not use this as blocklist anymore.

The list the repo maintains is for services that can provide burner or anonymous emails.
You can sign up for Proton Mail anonymously, as demonstrated by a frequent contributor to that repo in issue #414.
Therefore, it seems appropriate for it to be on that list, as annoying as that is.
I’d hope that site providers wouldn’t just summarily ban any domains on that list but I understand why they may take that shortcut to reduce spam/abuse if they don’t have adequate resources to handle it other ways.
