    You can sign up for Proton mail without providing email or phone number, as far as I recall.

            It is possible, I just signed up for one recently while using Tails. I was not required to use either email or phone number. Stop spreading misinformation.

                They said any service gets shut down. I registered a ProtonMail account without email or phone number. Proton also does not cooperate with anyone but Swiss authorities. It is obviously still possible.

                You can also register without one on cock.li, if you don’t mind them being edgy middle-aged teenagers.

                  All services do eventually shut down, possibly moreso for higher privacy services, you might just disagree on when.

                    That is your argument? “Time destroys all things”? Really?

                    Yeah, when you think about it, one day the sun will explode and all these email services that don’t require backup emails will shut down. You got me there, champ.

              I just loaded up a Linux vm with Brave, and tried to sign up in a tor window. It requires a verification email to sign up.

              Maybe you’re using a browser or OS that it’s tracking.

                It does not, this is misinformation. Do not believe this person, I recently did it on Tails while using Tor and did not need email or phone number.

                    I just tried it on my phone literally thirty seconds ago, after reading your comment, without using Tor or a VPN. Verification was done with a captcha. No email required.

        I did that recently while using Tails, and it let me register without either an email or phone number. This is misinformation.
