Proton Mail Discloses User Data Leading to Arrest in Spain - Lemmy NZ

I do not understand why people continue to trust Proton. They seem no better than Gmail from where I sit.

@CaptObvious @throws_lemy
"Seem"? An utterly wrong perception.
Does Proton
- read all contents of all emails (sent and received) and exploit them for targeted advertising?
- collect the metadata (who corresponds with whom)? and exploits ...?

The answer is: NO.

Clearly, they do collect metadata and share it with police for the asking. Personally, advertising seems the lesser evil.
They’re not perfect, but they’re nothing like Gmail. What email provider do you suggest?
@imkali @CaptObvious
"nothing like Gmail"? Well, we have AOL, Outlook.com, Yahoo.
Suggestions: mailbox.org, posteo, tuta, proton, lavabit.com.
