I think I know the answer, bit maybe I’m missing something

Since proton only sends and receives encrypted emails to other proton accounts, that means that when you get or send an email to someone else, they have to send / receive unencrypted and there is no way for us to verify what they are doing. Right?

Also if most accounts are google Microsoft, they still get 90% of my emails. By switching to proton I think I’ve gained nothing, while losing convenience , added another trust point, and having two different companies have my data instead of just one

Proton drive, calendar and VPN I think are fine

Sorry for the poor syntax. I’m at work working on email related things, and this topic kept distracting me. I might correct it later

    they pretty much always collaborate with the police

    a corporation is a legal extension of the state, hence why all of them will always collaborate when ordered by the courts or otherwise required by law.

    some will even collaborate when they are not required by law such amazon ring providing pigs access for no reason, facebook censoring content per request of US or Israel… needless bullshit but hey it helps get government contracts ;)

    bottom line, expecting corpo to do anything for you for 5 bucks a month is naive, at best they should not do it for no reason and they should not sell your data.

    but even that is a tall order for these parasites.
