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?
Probably nothing would happen to you. They might correlate your IP address and ban you, but that’s likely it.
However, don’t do that. Servers aren’t free, and if people abuse the charity of these services, they’ll stop offering free options for everyone.
If you need extra addresses, use something like https://addy.io/. if you need more storage, might be worth considering self-hosting your email.
Due to CGNAT it’s likely to have up to hundreds or thousands of unrelated customers sharing an IPv4 address
You’ll be frowned upon. Severely.
I think it’s unlikely to be enforced for normal use. If you use them for spam or to store a ton of data or some other abusive usage, they might shit down your accounts, but it would be pretty customer-unfriendly to do that for someone with just two accounts and not abusing it. Most privacy respecting services are too young to have gotten to the screw customers, only short-term profit phase of capitalism.
really?
protonmail has a “switch account” function. i would never pay the bastards and have two acocounts. no problem.
What about unnatural people?
I guess they got unlimited accounts then, sicne they are obviously exempt from the ToS 🤷♂️
Danged zombies ruining it for the rest of us.
