oh man, does this mean it isnt as private as they say? Gmail might just work the same if they are handing over people. Whats the point of privacy?

while i agree its frustrating, proton is worlds better than gmail for privacy. contents are still encrypted, there is only certain info that is available for authorities to request.

I guess that is a plus, but it still means it is vulnerable.

the answer in the long run is to use email for nothing sensitive ( easier said than done) and hopefulky alternatives get more adoption.

The thing is, with all these tech companies and everything asking for information, eventually something is going to be leaked. Security will be lost and all the data will flow.

ehh, that's kinda pessimist thinking. The thing is it's free, email is free by gmail, msn, yahoo etc. If everyone self hosted you have true control over your data because now you aren't counting on third parties to convey your message. and email, in general just sucks
