Developers/employees/etc must contact the mod team before engaging in self-promoting links and comments.Thanks!įor detailed descriptions for each of these rules please consult the rules sidebar in the new Reddit redesign (our canonical set of rules). Our Sept ’19 PTIO Team IAMA on r/Privacy was amazing and is chock full of tips & info!ĭo you have a project that you want to promote here? Open an Issue on our GitHub repo so our entire team can advise and evaluate it first. Please participate with suggestions and constructive criticism. We look forward to providing many more years of unbiased, non-commercial and transparent privacy-related news and reviews. Thank you so much for your years of involvement, support and appreciation. Thus, we’ve restricted r/PrivacyToolsIO, and invite you to join us on r/PrivacyGuides. Maintaining two subreddits mirroring each other provides few benefits while diverting our team from providing the level of service you deserve and expect.

Please consider this as a purely temporary measure until your notification receiving protocol is established.Īnd judging by the data I have, you receive this request regularly, but for some reason you stubbornly ignore it.As announced on July 27th, and again on Sept 14th, The Team Formerly Known As PrivacyTools.io – the entirety of the team providing privacy-related advice & services to you for the past couple years – has transitioned to and r/PrivacyGuides. This particular dependency poses a serious threat to the privacy of your users, as it gives Google the ability to see the client's IP address, the fact of using Proton, and the time of receipt of the notification, which can be used to de-anonymize users.Īs an interim solution to the problem, I propose to release on F-Droid a version of the F-Droid mobile app without notification support. Secondly, your Android mobile app uses malicious services of the evil Google corporation to receive notifications, and given the unhealthy love of this evil corporation to spy on users, sell their data and actively cooperate with governments, I consider such a function unacceptable and ask to eliminate any dependence on the services of the evil Google corporation.

This topic, by the way, has already been brought up on your subreddit: As an alternative, you can use AWS or Cloudflare BUT NOT Google.

And, even though all traffic through evil corporation is encrypted, evil corporation, at least, will see client's IP address, and given the unhealthy love of this evil corporation to spying on users, selling their data and active cooperation with governments, I consider this function unacceptable and ask to stop using evil corporation services. I did some investigation and found out that the "Allow alternative routing" function uses Google evil corporation servers.
