The video is old which was randomly suggested to watch but just checking that it’s still a thing.

That content creator said many things about proton mail, idk whether they are falsified i.e. the reason I am posting.

  • ProtonMail is subject to surveillance due to its location in Switzerland. As a member of the 14 Eyes surveillance alliance, Switzerland shares data with foreign intelligence.
  • ProtonMail’s CEO has made statements and taken actions that have disappointed privacy advocates. The CEO is seen as prioritizing profits over privacy.
  • ProtonMail logs user activity by default, scanning for criminal behavior. This level of logging is problematic for privacy.
  • ProtonMail has shifted away from strong encryption. While it used to focus heavily on encryption, it has pivoted away from this, which concerns privacy experts.–

      I do have concerns about Proton since I am using their products and services.

      Their payment methods doesn’t include options like Monero or atleast through other cryptocurrencies. They have this anonymous data collection, ofc we can disable it. And it has this ip log info for “checking unknown entities”. Can they completely disable or remove this feature from their code? So they can proclaim they are “unable to log” instead they “do not log” - I think you know the french activist incident. Btw I am not here to blame them.
