TBF, as soon as you move out of the English language the oversight of a million pair of eyes gets patchy fast. I have seen credible reports about Wikipedia pages in languages spoken by say, less than 10 million people, where certain elements can easily control the narrative.

But hey, some people always criticize wikipedia as if there was some actually 100% objective alternative out there, and that I disagree with.

probably very colourful cars

Unlikely. Back then cars used to be mostly black. Or as colorful as men’s suits. Tones of dark grey. See here or here.

This or some other company, that’s essentially what Maria Ressa said (with proof).

Familiar playbook.

Thanks for the update-in-a-nutshell!

Maria Ressa

Yes! Thanks, I couldn’t remember. Was an amazing podcast series on PBS iirc.

Good

Fuck Duterte. He did to his country almost a decade ago what Trump is doing to the USA now. I remember this Philippine-American journalist saying in 2016 that

we (the Philippines) are the test bed for things they don’t dare do in “the West” yet.

Isn’t his daughter president president now? No doubt that’s better, but by how much I wonder.

We do not collect data from sites and users as claimed by [email protected].

I have a faint inkling of how a service like yours would work and I do not see any way it could work without doing just that. Since both users and site owners need to create an account.

Seriously stop protesting so much. It makes you look bad.

No misconceptions on my side.

Your business is about three things:

• convenience for the visitor
• web sites being able to signal “we care about privacy”

Both these things are what makes the hype around web privacy/anonymity.
You pinky swear that you don’t sell or otherwise abuse personal data, but you still get class A data about which users visit and deeply interact with which site.
Why should I lay all my eggs in one basket in the first place?
Of course the same could be said about a secondary or tertiary email provider but then quite a few exist who are at least as trustworthy as your solution.

I said your business is about three things; I think it’s easy to see that the first two lead to you growing your business.

About your elaborate emoji- and buzzword-laden replies, let me reply with Shakespeare: “The lady doth protest too much, methinks”

People have every right and reason to be extremely skeptical about offers like these.

BTW I deleted one of my comments because I realized I was wrong. That seems to have rubbed you the wrong way?

Regarding those screenshots:

But then visitors immediately have to create an account with pportal .io to actually get at the newsletter/sign-up/etc.?

I had a quick look at your main page but it did not answer that question.

I understand that a web dev who wants to offer this has to open an account or get an api key of they want to use your service.

Also I could not find a link to the git repo.

edit: according to OP’s answer it is as I thought. Yet another company that collects data both on sites and their visitors. Another iteration of the good old Free model a lá Google.

edit2: my personal recommendation is still that people get themselves at least one extra email account with plus-addressing. From a trusted provider of course.
edit3: an option for true aliases would of course be better

In case anyone had the same kneejerk reaction: no, this is not about privacy etc. Just performance, according to OOP.

Still, this reads like a reaction to a recent overblown debacle.

edit: no, it actually does say “hardened security” in the README, lol, but the whole project seems to boil down to some compiler flags.
