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.–

    Except Switzerland is not a member of the 14 Eyes. Perhaps they got Switzerland and Sweden confused? I assume I can ignore whatever else this moron has to say considering this first point is blatantly false and they obviously did zero fact checking.
