Man I really wish people could report on Proton in a neutral manner. I think this information is really important, but the article is so skewed towards Proton being a deceptive company that I lose the real details reading it.

And the author makes claims like it being a pattern because Proton Mail says it can’t read your emails but they can read the plain text inbound emails before they encrypt them. Um…of course anybody can read unencrypted plain text emails before they get encrypted, and Proton straight out states that.

I think this is an issue, but given that there was no statement given by Proton or a sentence saying I reached out to proton but they declined to answer, I will need to wait for more information to have an opinion.

Thanks for sharing. I’ve not yet delved into reading it in depth but appreciate your goals and the fact that you documented it all.

Do you have to verify your identity? I know in the past you had that option but didn’t have to do it. But they just changed their terms of service so is this part of that?

It’s good enough that I recognized the reference before clicking into the post.
