You’re the ones defending a service yet you don’t know that. Seems like someone who just found out the service can do better research. But hey, thanks for not being overly aggressive and claiming to know everything like this other guy.

I simply asked you a question and thanks for pointing out more details. I have decided to trust Riseup and Disroot for reasons in the past. It is up to me to care about my privacy and security when there is the need for it. Other people will use Google Gmail with GnuPG, that up to them.

Sorry for being aggressive :)

I just believe that Proton with end to end encryption by default is better than having unencrypted mail or similar

Good for you if you trust them, but you might as well self host then if you don’t need protection from the government 🤔
