Fanfare for Nothing: Proton Mail's Updated ToS not worth Reading the Mail


Proton Mail sent me a notification mail that they've changed the ToS documents. It's a rather long email, but it could have been three points:

  • There are no significant changes to Proton’s privacy policies beyond this change in formatting.
  • Proton VPN’s terms and conditions were previously a separate document that was largely a duplicate of Proton Mail’s terms and conditions. These two documents are being combined to streamline the agreement for users of both services.
  • These updated terms will go into effect on July 26, 2023.

That's pretty much it. The rest is fluff that could have been excluded. Why bother write it if I don't need to read it? It's probably not even worth my (or your) time for me to convey this information to you.

What I do wish to convey is that I am easily irritated by receiving near-pointless and unnecessarily long emails full of sales and murketing buzzwords and doublespeak. I've got more than enough crap in my inbox to sift through as it is and it's not something I enjoy doing. Just give me the facts and do it quickly or don't invade my inbox.

Great White Snark
Great White Snark

I'm currently seeking fixed employment as a S/W & Web developer (C# & ASP .NET MVC, PHP 8+, Python 3), hoping to stash the farmed fiat and go full Crypto, quit the 07:30-18:00 grind. Unsigned music producer; snarky; white; balding; smashes Patriarchy.

The Snark Returns: Random Musings from The GWS

SW/Web developer: ~12 years of C# (yay!) & ASP .Net MVC, Java (blargh!), Python (woot!) experience. I'm currently hitting faucets and writing for crypto to stake/invest . | I work part-time with animals. Sadly, my cerebellum and medulla oblongata aren't Einsteinian in proportion. However, I possess a Brobdingnagian vocabulary and get by with being a barbigerous logophile. I can probably write you into bed, if smashing Capitalism and Patriarchy turns you on. Kink is political!
