  "Like many others, we have all heard the PayPal horror stories, but didn’t actually think it would happen to us on our campaign since PayPal promised, very recently, to improve their policies."
The naivety is strong here.

Glad I donated in BTC.

Does Paypal own a lot of Bitcoins? They sure make an effort out of highlighting bitcoin's advantages.

PayPal does it again. It had previously done it "again", on many occasions. I just don't understand how people keep going back to an organisation like PayPal, or GoDaddy which practically mean "horror stories".

Its Anuj from PayPal here. We made a mistake. I just spoke with one of the guys at ProtonMail and apologized on behalf of the company. We fixed it as soon as we were made aware.

The second meeting took place in October 1988 at a summer resort in Western Virginia, sad and grey this particular autumn. The Americans turned up in force. Bill Bostwick, from the Department of Energy was the Chairman, Barry Leiner from the Department of Defense and Vint Cerf were present. The European representatives were thin on the ground: a German and British representative plus Francois Flückiger.

In 1991, 80% of the internet capacity in Europe for international traffic was installed at CERN, in building 513.

An excerpt from a Softpedia article on his topic: "the payment processor questioned the legality of ProtonMail and inquired about having government approval to encrypt emails."

OK. So now I'm 100% convinced this company is a slave to the US government and it's probably ran by money-hungry apes.
