I spun up a new protonmail address over TOR like I've done many times before and was immediately told my account was restricted and couldn't be used to sign up for third party services until I either verified a phone number, another email address, or paid money. So I tried fastmail's 30 day free trial and my account was also restricted but only so that I couldn't send emails. I was able to use it to sign up for the service I needed.

Meta's $25B Privacy Penalty Exposes Facebook's Broken Promises Meta has been ordered to pay New Mexico $25 billion after a court found that Facebook repeatedly misled people about control of their personal information.

Tor Project suspends joint promotion with Mullvad following a co-founder's donation to a Swedish political party The Tor Project has paused co-branding and joint promotional activities with Mullvad, though it continues its technical collaboration on the development of the Mullvad Browser. https://blog.torproject.org/on-tor-relationship-with-mullvad/ This decision follows controversy surrounding a personal donation of 5 million Swedish kronor made by Mullvad co-founder Daniel Berntsson to the political party Örebropartiet in 2025 an amount that accounted for nearly 72% of the party's revenue that year. The party advocates for policies involving immigration restrictions and large-scale “remigration,” which has drawn criticism from segments of the digital rights community.
