ProtonMail and SimpleLogin emails will be blocked from registering on websites
Hi! On this thread 7c/fakefilter#73 some random user asks to block ProtonMail and SimpleLogin email domains. This is really popular filter, so please, take measures! @mmso, @bartbutler, @Twikito
This makes me đ
UPDATE: Thanks @nekusoul@lemmy.nekusoul.de for this update: The issue has now been commented on and was closed by the maintainer, where they explained why those blocks would be nonsense. But it appears the OP wants to still talk with maintainer privately about it.
You're viewing a single thread.
ThatâsâŚa good portion of the free email providers on the planet. Even if companies are using this list as a filter for signups, itâs only going to be for a limited time.
Companies want new accounts. They donât mind very much if those accounts are fake - big numbers get investor attention. It only takes a handful of support cases with âI tried to register but it says my email address isnât allowedâ before the C-suite makes it clear to IT that this filter is no longer in sync with the corporate strategy.
Ironically I'm paying for proton because the free services suck.
I can actually well imagine them responding to use a Gmail or short list of major domains. Normies are normal and the companies want an email they can link to all the other data on the web.
What all of you fail to realize is that it's literally the point of the project. To filter those "emails" that value privacy. Just like everyone has the right to use those privacy prioritized emails, website operators have a right to know. That is a 1:1 copy of the description of the project.
