Hey HN community

I'm not sure if this is the best platform for asking questions like these, but I didn't know where else to go.

I'm relatively new in Canada, and in the past I used my Upwork account a lot, but not so much recently. Then I decided to revive it to make some extra bucks. Upwork asked me to verify my identity, and I submitted my driver's license, they sent me an email telling me that they are suspending my account permanently due to falsification of information. I'm pretty sure that's this is a false positive, but no matter what I say, all I get in response is "Our decision is final".

I don't want to lose my 10 years old Upwork account which has thousands of hours on it. I wanted to kind of force them so that a human can verify my documents. How can I do that? Perhaps I'll a lawyer, if anyone who had similar experience before, please recommend one.

There are many end to end encrypted mail services, and I was in the process of choosing one.

1. ProtonMail 2. Tutanota 3. Librem Mail 4. Mailbox

Any feedback on the above mentioned services, or is there something better out there?

Since, whatsapp doesn't have scrapped the subscription model and the messages are end to end encrypted, what's the main source of their revenue.

I tried looking up many online articles and didn't get a satisfying answer.
