Their ToS only allow one account per person…
Does anyone here have more than 1 free account on such platforms?
Has there been cases where people got banned for having more than 1 free account?
Nothing yet. This came about before I learned to use email aliases, so I created a couple accounts in fear of being correlated across shopping sites and other services. Though at no point did I consume more than 500 MB across my accounts, the limit for one free account. Not that this exonerates me, but I’d imagine heavy use across free accounts would raise suspicions sooner.
If anyone at Proton is reading this, my apologies and many thanks for graciously providing these accounts for free the past several years. I’ll stop leeching resources once I finish migrating to my new email provider.
Yeah, I remember someone getting all their Proton accounts banned, but they had a large amount, basically using it as a disposable provider. Don’t be that person and ruin it for everyone.
I have two with Proton and have had two with Tuta. I don’t think either would bother coming down on that. It could very easily be two people sharing a device with different email accounts or so forth.
Why should you have multiple free accounts?
Protonmail doesn’t enforce that ToS option in any way, UNLESS you’re making a lot of accounts.
If you have two, they don’t really care. If you have 200, then they’re going to point to the TOS when they ban you.
Proton is CIA
idk if i would inherently say that, but the CEO does have some worms in his brain so there’s that.
