Unnecessary and deeply concerning bow to the new “king”
Update: position got backed up by an official Proton post on Mastodon, it’s an official Proton statement now. https://mastodon.social/@protonprivacy/113833073219145503
Update 2, plot-twist: they removed this response from Mastodon - seems they realize it exploded into their face!
It’s not E2E encrypted unless you’re using PGP or emailing another Proton user, which is basically nobody for most people. They do encrypt your email when it arrives in a way that is supposed to make them inaccessible to them (which is more than what most email providers do), so you’d need to trust that they’re not intercepting your emails and storing them somewhere unencrypted. Stuff like SimpleX/Cwtch/Signal is E2E encrypted though by default so their security is a lot better
