Don't hate the player. You can't send mail with E2E encrypted headers and you can't leave payment data and expect Proton to violate regulations and delete it.
Signal has to deal with neither of these issues.
Proton can do what it likes when it comes to messages being sent between different proton accounts. Use of meta data rich protocols like standard email, instead of, e.g., the signal protocol, is absolutely something they can be blamed for.
As is choosing operate from a jurisdiction that can comple them to collect IP addresses.
The annoying part is them marketing themselves as like operating from Swiss “privacy haven” when swiss privacy laws aren’t that good and the parliament is actively destroying them as we speak.
Switzerland used to be one of the best countries for it, but indeed not anymore. Proton is well aware and has already moved some infrastructure out of Switzerland.
