A court record reviewed by 404 Media shows privacy-focused email provider Proton Mail handed over payment data related to a Stop Cop City email account to the Swiss government, which handed it to the FBI.
You can use a prepaid visa to buy account credits, or proton gift cards. They don’t support monero, which is really annoying, but it’s not the biggest hassle to convert from monero to bitcoin for a purchase.
Have you tried doing specifically that and/or do they claim you can do specifically that? I tried doing the same thing when making a Tuta account and it wouldn’t accept prepaid cards, though they do have a 3rd party source you can pay cash or Monero for gift card codes, giving true anonymity
but it’s not the biggest hassle to convert from monero to bitcoin for a purchase.
I think the issue is that Bitcoin hasn’t been anonymous for a few years now (unlike Monero).
I like services like PIA that let you pay in gift cards.
Owned by Kape technologies, and uses Google analytics. Big nope. Any VPN service worth its money support anon payments (including gift cards) anyways.
Does Proton Mail?
Is there a link you could share?
Sorry to reply to a two week old comment, this is their supported payments page: https://proton.me/support/payment-options.

The link leads to an error 404.

I don’t see any anonymous payment methods on this page.
Tuta has a 3rd party provider that you can send cash or Monero to and get a gift card to pay for your account.
Mullvad will directly take cash and Monero.
I don’t see anything suggesting that Proton does anything similar
Idk you asked. I used a search engine. You can too.
I had looked to possible anonymous payment methods for Proton and found nothing before.
I asked because you were making a claim against what I had found. Not my fault you made a false claim without proof
We’re not in a court of law, and i didn’t make any claims. Get over yourself.
