    Ironically, when I tried setting a ProtonMail account recovery email address, they rejected it because it was on a list like this one. I hope Proton gets off this blacklist, but I also think they should practice what they preach.

      They rejects them because it is an abuse prevention mechanism. You can solve captcha and register without any additional information

        An “abuse prevention mechanism” that punishes legitimate users is a badly designed mechanism. It’s a lot like police racial profiling.

        Nobody said anything about registering.

          A lot of sites are willing to have something that’s good enough, rather than perfect, so if they find that using a list like this solves the majority of their abuse/deliverability issues, it’s unfortunately pretty logical they’d use it for that.
