          Ew, gross. I wonder if that's why I stopped using startpage...? It's been so long since I bothered, but at least I know now why it should be avoided.

            He is also a former Secret Service agent. You can dislike him but at least include that he has a bit of LE experience.

              Am I missing something in the link? I see the url yes, but I only see the quote of him endorsing startmail. Is there any other info on what kind of partnership they have? Genuinely curious because I use startpage a lot and will definitely stop if this is true.

                He's subscribed to just about every conspiracy theory imaginable & advocating for killing Democrats. It would be like Alex Jones becoming FBI deputy director.

                  Hell, this has "I have nipples Greg, can you milk me?" vibes.

                  I mean, I've technically designed a component that's gone into numerous commercial aircraft. Does that make me qualified to head up the FAA? Or would that make me qualified to lead NASA?

                  These chuds are so unqualified to lead any of these departments. The one saving grace as that none of these guys know what they are doing, so short of firing people, they're just going to embarrass themselves for the next 4 years.

                    They have a special discount with his code and mention its for fans of his so they sponsored his podcast directly

                        Such a weird thing for them to do - why would a Dutch company highlight a connection with a US Trump supporter? Is it a very recent thing? Like Proton's CEO massaging Trump's ego?

                          Am I missing something or did they take it down? That link redirects to https://www.startmail.com/ for me.

                              I think its just an affiliate link. It looks like every one can make a affiliate link https://www.startmail.com/affiliate.

                                  You're right. All Things Secure has some recommended email providers with affiliate links on his website https://www.allthingssecured.com/identity-protection/best-email-alias-service/. The URL looks different more like a normal affiliate link https://www.startmail.com/partner?ref=mmviyzz and the page also looks different.

                                    It is kind of relevant that he has some relevant experience for becoming the deputy director of the FBI. Now, some people don't like cops, the FBI or his politics, but that's a different discussion entirely.
