1. Commit to remaining free of any and all AI tools

   Proton, so far, has been a bastion of "the Internet we actually wanted". This is why it was so disheartening to see that the company is now seriously considering integrating GenAI into its suite of tools.

   As the tide of big tech moves toward forcing AI tools into the face of every user, the existence of a platform that is explicitly not doing this is a breath of fresh air. There is no reason to "innovate for the sake of innovation". Let your competitors waste their time and energy being late to the party with the 80th, 90th, and 100th AI tools to come to market.

   Beyond the user experience, there is a plethora of moral reasons to avoid this AI plague:

   • The mass exploitation of human labour used to tag inputs for these models
   • The environmental effects of generating power used to train them
   • The obscene amount of fresh drinking water diverted toward cooling
   • The degradation of information quality, as the human knowledge encoded in language is substituted with statistical approximations

   Please, reconsider this. It's been refreshing to use a platform that wasn't mindlessly chasing big tech trends, and to lose that now would give me an extremely disappointing reason to go searching once again for alternatives.

   Thanks, Uservoice is for feature requests, please use it to raise specific pieces of functionality.

2. Request for better UserVoice standards for posters and moderators

   NOTE: I want to make it clear that I will give credit where credit is due, for example seeing examples of truly excellent engagement, such as the detailed explanation for the 'Metadata encryption' idea, which was transparent and thoughtful. I also had a fantastic experience with Proton Docs (Drive) customer service, who the agent (who I will not name for PRIVACY) did a great job of assisting me. This shows Proton can communicate effectively.

   TL;DR: Proton's UserVoice platform faces significant management challenges. My detailed post critiquing it was [DECLINED ❌] with the ironic "Please use UserVoice for feature requests" response, mirroring a pattern of high-voted ideas being [DECLINED ❌] with generic replies, often after years of waiting. This limited engagement with feedback, coupled with unmoderated spam and neglected [🟠 PLANNED] features, is impacting user trust and appears inconsistent with Proton's stated commitment to its community.

   ⚠️ IMPORTANT UPDATE: July 17, 2025
   The issues outlined below have not only persisted but have escalated dramatically, revealing a pattern of moderation that limits engagement with user feedback and appears inconsistent with UserVoice's stated purpose.

   This very post, intended to highlight UserVoice neglect, was [❌ DECLINED] by a Proton Admin with the response: "Please use Uservoice to raise feature requests." This ironic and dismissive reply perfectly encapsulates the core problem: a challenge in engaging with feedback about the platform itself.

   A relentless wave of [❌ DECLINED] ideas today:
   Multiple highly-voted ideas have been declined with generic, unhelpful, or circular responses. Examples include:

   ❌ [DECLINED] "Need More Products For Ecosystem” (53 votes)
   (https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/945460-general-ideas/suggestions/48735578-need-more-products-for-ecosystem)
   Response: "Uservoice is for feature requests, please use it to raise specific functionality changes or additions."

   ❌ [DECLINED] "Focus on existing products" (146 votes)
   (https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/945460-general-ideas/suggestions/48603929-focus-on-existing-products)
   Response: "Uservoice is for feature requests, please use it to raise specific functionality changes or additions." (again)

   ❌ [DECLINED] "Proton, buy Threema" (264 votes)
   (https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/945460-general-ideas/suggestions/48246425-proton-buy-threema)
   Response: "Uservoice is for feature requests, please use it to raise specific functionality changes or additions." (again)
   Note: No, I don't expect aquisations every single day. However, at least some acknowledgement as to why would be helpful.

   ❌ [DECLINED] "Proton Mail on iOS Apple Mail app" (80 votes)
   (https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/284483-proton-mail/suggestions/32785735-proton-mail-on-ios-apple-mail-app)
   DECLINED after 7 years of waiting, with no reason why.

   ❌ [DECLINED] "USERVOICE NEGLETION" (3 votes)
   (MY OWN POST, that speaks up) (https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/935538-accounts-payments/suggestions/50199909-uservoice-negletion)
   DECLINED after 3 hours.

   Decline vs Accept:
   While comprehensive, constructive feedback (like this post) is declined, a highly critical post titled "Stop being a greedy subscription-pushing enterprise" (99 votes - https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/935538-accounts-payments/suggestions/49048040-stop-being-a-greedy-subscription-pushing-enterpris) remains [OPEN 🟢] on the front page. I do not know this comes about. This suggests a varied approach to moderation that appears to limit engagement with direct critiques of platform management while allowing other feedback.

   Continued Neglect of [🟠PLANNED] items:
   The "iPad iOS Version" idea (138 votes - https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/284483-proton-mail/suggestions/11555208-ipad-ios-version-rather-than-stretched-iphone-vers), marked [🟠PLANNED] in 2016, remains unfulfilled and un-updated after 9 years.
   (By the way, an iPad version is still strangely non-existent, the new Proton Mail iOS app might fix this, but so far there's been no updates.)

   Technical Issues:
   The platform itself displays technical errors (e.g., CORS policy blocking images from S3), adding to the sense of disrepair. (Hint, for devtools, press F12 or ⌥+⌘+I)

   This pattern of behavior suggests a need for improved management of community voice, to ensure UserVoice functions as a tool for engagement rather than perceived silencing.
   I urge for change.

5. It's time for change. Is Proton listening?

   Quick look.

   As a long-time Proton user, I'm concerned by systemic "UserNeglect" and transparency issues. UserVoice ideas, like staying AI-free (425 votes), were [DECLINED ❌] just before Proton launched its Lumo AI tool. A Proton Admin on Reddit even contradicted Lumo's logging claims, and the official website still hasn't been corrected, showing a severe lack of follow-through. More issues like spam on the forums, unclosed completed ideas, and responses that never come make this an unignorable issue.

   My detailed UserVoice post on these issues gets minimal attention, and my Reddit post is stuck awaiting mod approval – ironically highlighting the very gatekeeping I'm exposing. I'm a loyal user, not a hater, and this needs discussion.

7. Improve Proton Mail!

   Please improve Proton Mail - fast!!! If Proton had a forum, I'd ask this there. Ever since the update with the new UI, emails take FOREVER to open. 5+ minutes. I cannot use Proton Mail like this on a daily basis. Please find a fix for this! The new Proton Mail app is supposed to be faster and improved, but this just made it slower and worse. Please fix this soon!

   Thanks for raising an issue on UserVoice. As per the rules on the front page:

   
   

   • Please make requests specific and actionable, generic "improve" or "make x better" posts will be removed

   
   

   This has been removed as it goes against this rule. If you have specific ways in which Mail can be improved, please raise them as feature requests or improvements for those products.

8. Proton Mail down: "Internal server error"

   Proton Mail fails to load. I see an "Internal server error" error message. This started happening within the hour.

   Meanwhile, the official Proton Services Status page blindly reports "All Systems Operational." There's a disconnect between the Mail service and the status report.

10. Proton Meet: Feedback

    Proton Meet has been great so far and I have really enjoyed it!

    Suggestions I have had from people who have used it with me:

    1. Be able to see other people's video/faces while screen sharing

    2. Adding a waiting room and/or password to meeting

    3. Adding emotes to chat responses

    4. Improved background effects

    5. Ability to record a meeting (with consent of participants) and store in proton drive

11. A final note on user neglect - Goodbye (also unlimited disposable aliases)

    A final note on user neglect - Goodbye (also unlimited disposable aliases)
    (and also how to lose privacy conscious customers)

    This is the end of UserVoice for me, and I have no intention to continue posting without change.

    I’m a Visionary who’s used Proton for ages. But I can’t anymore.

    As many of you know, I have been attempting to highlight systemic issues with community engagement and transparency on this platform and others. My recent comprehensive post on "User Neglect" was officially

    DECLINED❌

    with a dismissive statement from a Proton Admin:

    "Uservoice is for raising feature requests; please focus on improvements or new functionality for Proton products."

    This response is a clear confirmation of my thesis. This platform is not a place for genuine critical feedback or accountability. It is a one-way suggestion box, curated by Proton for its own internal purposes.

    Through my research, I have discovered a pattern of behavior that shows this has been the case since the platform's inception. Proton Admins have been posting their own ideas on this platform for years, often leaving them to sit for years before being marked
    STARTED or COMPLETED✅. This suggests that UserVoice has been, and continues to be, more of an internal road-mapping tool than a true channel for two-way communication.

    This conclusion is further supported by the bizarre inconsistency in moderation, where a profane post can remain untouched while a detailed, evidence-based critique is immediately shut down. The problem extends beyond this platform, as I've found evidence of Proton moderators on Reddit issuing outright permanent bans (see here: https://www.reddit.com/r/addy_io/comments/1lhpmck/comment/mz6mlbt/)

    and removing content, directly contradicting public statements that they "don’t remove negative content" (a claim contradicted by this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonMail/comments/1lct606/comment/my3dy8e/).

    Because this platform is not a viable channel for the kind of important discussion that needs to happen, this will be my final post here. I will continue my advocacy on platforms where my voice cannot be censored. I invite you to read my full report, with all of the evidence I have collected, and join the conversation there.

    Also, since this is my final post, I am sneaking something in: Can we please get unlimited disposable email aliases?

    Back to it, you might like to read the full report and join the conversation:

    Thank you to those who have supported this effort. It’s time for change, and that change will happen elsewhere.

    Proton, I will consider coming back if things change. I want to support you, and I don’t want to support Big Tech. Know that before declining this post, I can help you out. Please.

    I hope that if this is declined, it's done with the empathy and care I believe a human-first company should show, not “Thank you, UserVoice is for feature requests”.

    But for now, this is the end of the road for me.

    Goodbye.

    One day...
    Someone wearing a purple shirt.
    They don't know.
    What they're about to do.

    They open their P laptop.
    Click the UV icon.
    It jumps slightly.

    A notification.
    "Request for better standards."
    He clicks it.

    The person on the other side of the world is sleeping. His phone buzzes slightly.

    Back in Geneva, he reads. He finds no escape to the arguments.

    So he does the unthinkable.
    Breaks the laws.
    Gives six out of five stars.

    He moves his cursor shakingly to a button.
    And he clicks.

    All of the 2000 people around the world who clicked [Vote] are buzzed, whether in meetings, stay at home mums or schoolchildren.

14. Proton Ecosystem

    First I use a translator to write the following message, I hope you understand what I want to express.

    First, I am a person who highly values ​​security, and that is why I use all Proton applications. First of all, thank you for your work and dedication, I have two proposals, one that will be more long-term and one that will be medium or short-term.

    The proposal in the medium or short term would be to please create a robust ecosystem of applications, what applications are missing in my opinion, well first the contacts application, second the web browser application, third the sms message application with rsc, fourth the phone app, fifth the gallery app, Sixth, the Files application in which Drive cloud is integrated, Seventh the notes app, eighth the maps app, Ninth the recorder application, Tenth the clock app, eleventh the tasks app, twelfth calculator app, 13th keyboard app, Fourteenth, a player application which can be used for music and videos, The fifteenth will be a little more complex, since it focuses on creating Google services but through Proton, that is, just like microg exists, create an alternative to microg but from Proton, And it makes way for the sixteenth, which is a Proton application store, where not all applications are only those that are secure and that respect the privacy of users, And now I'm going with applications that are not so important but it is good to offer them like weather, Camera, Document and PDF file viewer, Launcher, Among others that are not such a priority.

    Now to polish this entire ecosystem well and achieve great integration, move on to the long-term proposal which is nothing more than creating a custom Android rom, But with the entire Proton ecosystem, to create it we focused on the I/OS rom as a base, Which is the one I always use since it is the only one to date that provides the security and privacy that I value.

    See everything that E/os offers, offer that and more, that is, an improved version, Since E/OS is good, I wouldn't change it for anything, but if Proton makes a system like that, I know it will be a beast, plus it will be pretty hehehe.

    I won't go on any further, lastly don't be stingy like Apple, attract people by offering more free space, At least like Google 15, or 20 to attract more people.

    First I use a translator to write the following message, I hope you understand what I want to express.

    First, I am a person who highly values ​​security, and that is why I use all Proton applications. First of all, thank you for your work and dedication, I have two proposals, one that will be more long-term and one that will be medium or short-term.

    I believe that we need more knowledge and information on how to effectively fight against anti-privacy and security regulation as citizens. EDRi does a good job, but their reach seems limited. As Proton is build on the concept of protecting individual rights to privacy and security, and as recent and current regulation-reforms are actively are undermining these pillars of the Proton platform, which of course are also pillars of a healthy democratic society, I believe that all this is a core fight for Proton and its users.

    I whish for better information on how individual actions can moat effectively influence the democratic machinery. A lot of people are only involved in democratic process when it is time to vote. I have slowly learned that we have much more power than that when we just realize it and coordinate our efforts.

    I believe that we need better education tools to help people realize how this kind of individual democratic power actually works, and how to use it. We also need better tools to assist in coordinating our energy for the most important fights. Actually, a platform like this one, where users can choose a topic and submit proposals for what would be important, and then vote on the most important submissions, would be great.
    The impact of this effort could then be amplified by combing it with collaborative and community inclusive projects, moderated and lead by experts in the field, to gather information, and create more easily consumed knowledge with regards to these most influential proposals, informing on what a proposal with regards to background, stakeholders, impact on society on on different levels, while focusing on democratic health and individual rights. The idea of having readily available and easily consumable high quality materials available for the mechanics behind the process of decitionmaking feels like a high value proposal to me. Especially if it is based on open-information and open moderation with an open review kind of approach, where individual review or ratings are made by researchers and other equally competent people.

    Making a EU wide union with EDRi and others, who has the same agenda, would be great.

    My proposal is basically to support or create a better infrastructure for community involvement in politics, mixed with a community driven but expert moderated platform for education and for aggregating the best value per effort strategies for action.

    I would start on the topic of privacy and security as is relevant for Proton platform with acute attempts in EU to undermine the platforms foundation, which would have consequences for its global userbase.

    The big example right now, is the EU proposal ”retention of data by service providers for criminal proceedings”, for which, I believe, the deadline is on the 12th of September 2025.

    Exsisting ideas to support with regards to this example:

    EDRi's guide to answering the EU questionaire.
    https://edri.org/our-work/public-consultation-on-retention-of-data-by-service-providers-for-criminal-proceedings-answering-guide-for-civil-society-organisations-and-individuals/

    Tools for identifying relevant politicians with the power to influence the current proposal, such as the following:

    I believe that we need more knowledge and information on how to effectively fight against anti-privacy and security regulation as citizens. EDRi does a good job, but their reach seems limited. As Proton is build on the concept of protecting individual rights to privacy and security, and as recent and current regulation-reforms are actively are undermining these pillars of the Proton platform, which of course are also pillars of a healthy democratic society, I believe that all this is a core fight for Proton and its users.

17. Proton Fotos

    Ich würde es sehr begrüssen, wenn es ein eigenes Programm nur für Fotos geben würde. Ich finde das „Fotos“ auf Proton Drive ist wirklich unnützbar. Es gibt nicht einmal eine Vorschau der Bilder. Wie soll man da noch seine Fotos finden? Zudem finde ich es schlecht, dass Proton Drive keine RAW-Bilder u.Ä. öffnen kann. Das dürfte bei „Proton Fotos“ nicht der Fall sein. Zur Zeit habe ich meine Bilder auf Apple Fotos. Dort ist es sehr praktisch, finde ich. Mit den Alben, dass man einfach Bildinformationen einsehen und die Bilder mit Schlagwörter und co. beschriften kann und dass man in der App die Bilder einfach bearbeiten kann. Aber ich mache mir Gedanken über die Privatsphäre von Apple. Ich habe nicht ganz erfreuliche Nachrichten gelesen. Bei Proton habe ich das Vertrauen. Wenn ihr ein „Proton Fotos App“ erstellt, würde ich viel von Apple Fotos „abschauen“. Zudem würdet ihr mit folgenden Features noch Pluspunkte bei Fotoliebhabern bei denen die Privatsphäre nicht egal ist: Bei den Fotos bearbeiten sollte man auf einen Klick die Metadaten entfernen können und die Bilder benutzerdefiniert komprimieren können. Für solche Funktionen habe ich noch kein Programm. Ich werde für meine Fotos bald eine andere Lösung für meine Fotos suchen. Ich hoffe ich kann bald mich freuen, dass ich meine Fotos endlich Sorgenlos aufbewahren kann. Auf einer Cloud, die Datenschutzsicher ist.

    Liebe Grüsse
    Mischa

18. I'm using a tracking protection app on my mobile. This one finds some tracking from Adobe in the protonmail app everyday.

    Can you verify Adobe tracking is effective or not ? It would be a bad news

19. I am unable to access your Help center Form to report a hacking issue. The form disappears right after it appears.

    I actually need Help Center assistance with a hacking issue, but each time I access your Help Center form it immediately disappears. Also, when I phoned your Geneva phone number. the woman I spoke with only speaks French and could not locate someone who speaks English. Please have someone phone me @ 973-790-1731, or send me an email @ barhalo8@protonmail.com.

20. Proton Uservoice Interface

    Dear Proton, I hope you guys can change the Proton uservoice interface. This site has an outdated design. I love design on other Proton services, but not for this site.
