Proton are very transparent about what data is and isn’t stored, how data is protected and what (very limited) data may be available in the event of a legal warrant - going through all the proper channels.
Complying with legal warrants doesnt make the service insecure or not private. It makes it a legal and legitimate company.
It shouldn’t really be a surprise to any of it’s users.
I agree with you these people think that Proton will fight and protect you for $11 a month. Lol we really have to keep in mind that companies will comply to a government request its on you to keep your data secure and communications encrypted.
Even if your messages are encrypted, you still leak a lot of data (aka metadata)
Yes you are right. But as Michael Bazell said just expect that everything you said its going to be leak.
