So I have to provide PII when subscribing via a with cash purchased gift card. Really? That doesn’t make any sense. Why would you offer the possibility of purchasing with cash when you have to offer some PII?
Maybe gift cards are excluded from that?
This is clear and no thread.
Same goes for this.
See the first part of my comment.
No thread, when other privacy measures are used.
Maybe I am lost or unexperienced but I don’t see any problem with that for high-risk political usage with potentially targeted attacks. I mean, if the payment isn’t anonymous, then it’s a risk that shouldn’t be taken. In this case, Addy is out of the high-risk plan.
Instead of Addy, I would proceed as follows. In the high-risk usage scenario, you don’t sign up for many services anyway, so I could create a handful of free Proton or Tuta accounts (xyz1238392@proton.me) and then use them. This way, I don’t need aliases, as I can create unlimited accounts for free anyway. These are then completely anonymous and I only have to trust Proton/Tuta. They do not have access to the contents of my mailbox. If all other privacy and security measures are observed, this should guarantee completely anonymous use of email. And this is not used for communication, because e-mail is not secure enough for this.
Is that correct?
What other weaknesses are there in my normal plan and the two high-risk plans?
