The thing that stops google (or proton for that matter) is that you don’t give them the keys.
Don't worry, your email to requests@luigifanclub.cc with the subject line of "next target" is safe. /s
h-hey dont leak me ~
If you're using a third-party email client, but using a gmail email address, then PGP would stop Google from reading your emails (assuming the private keys aren't compromised).
If you're using their email client, then nothing stops them from decrypting your emails if they really wanted to. IIRC, gmail doesn't natively support PGP anyways though, so you'd have to use a third-party client.
Thank you. This was my understanding too.
There are extensions that let you encrypt/decrypt messages right in your Gmail inbox. I'm not sure whether that would let Google grab the decrypted messages using JavaScript, though.
