they market it as secure email. what does that even mean? they say it’s encrypted, but most people don’t receive encrypted emails. they don’t put in the effort to educate their users about how email encryption works. further, they don’t use standard email servers, and require you to use their own clients. it always seemed like a honeypot, and i’ve seen enough news of them doing nefarious shit to confirm my distrust.
I never trusted them to begin with
Them:: ? Proton or The Intercept?
proton
