Thanks for the correction! I appreciate your taking the time to let me know.
Should be fixed now...
“Your email is encrypted” – but what does that *actually* mean?
I wrote a clear, non-technical guide that explains the basics and highlights what’s often hidden in the fine print.

Thanks to everyone who gave feedback on an earlier version of this article.
Leider ist das UX von Element/Matrix ziemlich schlecht. Es muss dringend vereinfacht, wenn es an den normalen Mensch gehen soll.

Two posts on my website that cover that - (though admittedly not exclusively EU-focused).
Hey guys and gals,
I've been happily using Proton for nearly a year now and have a referral link. New users get 20 USD off (and I get 20 USD as well - a win-win deal 😎).
Here is the link: pr.tn/ref/30VDKTVQ
If you have any questions, ask away. Also feel free to share this link if you know someone who would benefit.

"I initially avoided degoogling because I knew I would miss out on the latest and greatest. Google is always adding new, smart features that seem almost magical when you first use them. But there is an unspoken 'catch' with nearly all of these features – they need unfettered access to your data to function. This 'transaction' is rarely made explicit. Instead, features are simply rolled-out while default settings, unreadable privacy policies and FOMO work their magic. But once you see what’s going on, you can’t unsee it."
Just one reason I left Gmail for a privacy-respecting alternative.
