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.
Way way better than gmail IMO. One simple reason is if you have something wrong with your account you can get in contact with a real human. And still better data protection than anything in the US. I’m not a journalist or freedom fighter so for my use case it’s ideal.
Fair point. And if whatever you want to keep private isn’t likely to get you killed, then Proton is probably as good as any.
