    IMO if proton can change their stance and their policies (like their website no longer says emails are anonymous), then I don’t think they are a good private service provider. The only thing going for proton now is that their emails are encrypted and can’t be read by them.

    Who knows if a request came from a specific channel of the government that deals with crime, may be they will decrypt the content for them?

      No.

      The “only thing going for” them is the ability to sign up with zero personal information. You can encrypt your emails with ANY service because it is you exchanging keys ahead of time and doing it locally before you even look up Job on usenet.

      Do not trust a third party to encrypt your sensitive communications for you. Do not trust a third party to protect you. Instead, look at what the the third party actually offers you and figure out how you can take advantage of that.

        This is the kind of person that isn’t worried about incognito market black mailing them.
