Cape opens $99/month beta of its privacy-first mobile plan, inks Proton deal, raises $30M

This is a PR fluff piece.

The mobile carrier startup Cape is taking a novel approach to addressing the problem: It has built a service it says can provide a more secure, private alternative

Ah, sounds too good. How?

it doesn’t collect any data on you at all; even its website doesn’t have a cookie gate.

Deeply unserious journalism when the website does have a big ball of MixPanel tracker right there.

“No cookies” is the new “audit reports”. Folks, especially “tech” Journalists, really need to read those and/or probe further than blindly believe if there’s “no cookie” banners or if there’s a few “audit reports” sitting about, the service/app provider is golden. Sigh.
