Donald Trump has vowed to deport millions and jail his enemies. To carry out that agenda, his administration will exploit America’s digital surveillance machine. Here are some steps you can take to evade it.
I just tried it on my phone literally thirty seconds ago, after reading your comment, without using Tor or a VPN. Verification was done with a captcha. No email required.
You know what would be a really easy way to confirm if Proton is sometimes requiring email verification? Just look on their own website, where they openly say they do it.
The question isn’t whether they’re doing this. It’s whether they’re actually doing it to “prevent spambots,” or if they’re employing it when they need more info to track who’s signing up.
I’ve signed up on Tor and the clearnet, and both times without providing an email address or phone number. Meaning if you keep running into that problem, it’s a sign that something you’re doing or have done is causing them to think you aren’t somebody that should be signing up without verification. Either way, the fact remains that most people aren’t having this issue.
yes I just did, not brave but for browser and I was as to create account
I just loaded up a Linux vm with Brave, and tried to sign up in a tor window. It requires a verification email to sign up.
Maybe you’re using a browser or OS that it’s tracking.
It does not, this is misinformation. Do not believe this person, I recently did it on Tails while using Tor and did not need email or phone number.
I just tried it yesterday. Definitely required an email for verification.

yeah I’m using tor browser, also don’t forget you can get fingerprinted even on tor
Totally. You should assume yours is being tracked if they’re not asking for verification.
fingerprinting is not tracking, personally im fine with them fingerprinting they just don’t want to give unlimited free stuff for anyone
Then you’re supporting diminished privacy.
that is what you would say if you dont understand how fingerprinting works and how to actually be private
