Protonmail only requires a phone number to send a verification “are you a real human” SMS if the IP you are registering from is a source of previous abuse.

These are pretty easily solvable problems that don’t lead to getting your genitals shocked. -Ryan McGinnis r...@digicana.com http://bigstormpicture.com 5C73 8727 EE58 786A 777C 4F1D B5AA 3FA3 486E D7AD > On May 7, 2021, at 5:58 PM, Stefan Vasilev <stefan.vasi...@posteo.ru> wrote: > > > Ryan McGinnis wrote: > >> Alice is an idiot if she’s trying to defeat nation-state adversaries >> and be a thrifty shopper at the same time, but even so, in most places >> a laptop isn’t going to be cheaper than a cheap mobile phone. >> >> You really want Alice to use some public library computer for some >> reason, but I am going to assume Alice isn’t a complete moron and >> would avoid this, given there are a hundred better options that won’t >> result in her genitals being shocked in some dingy government >> interrogation room. >> >> If you have to use a laptop then, cool, grab an ISO of Debian, install >> it, find the nearest WiFi hotspot, make a free protonmail account, >> send an email.
