After learning about this:
I just started looking for any other option of secure email service provider.
Based on this statement it looks like they were compelled by the courts:
They also provided an update:
So it sounds like they had their hand forced in that instance to provide the data and got a court ruling that allows them in the future to not retain that data. I would trust them.
Will this make them stop spamming me for likes and referrals even though I’m a paying customer? Maybe they can even offer me that 6TB storage tier that I’ve been willing to pay for but only happens to people who spread the gospel and bring in referrals.
The tone around this company is too preachy and evangelical compared to other paid services.
Are you sure you can’t opt out? The only stuff they send me is product news because I haven’t unsubscribed from that mailing list
