ProtonMail is subject to surveillance due to its location in Switzerland. As a member of the 14 Eyes surveillance alliance, Switzerland shares data with foreign intelligence.
Except Switzerland is not a member of the 14 Eyes. Perhaps they got Switzerland and Sweden confused? I assume I can ignore whatever else this moron has to say considering this first point is blatantly false and they obviously did zero fact checking.
I do have concerns about Proton since I am using their products and services.
Their payment methods doesn’t include options like Monero or atleast through other cryptocurrencies.
They have this anonymous data collection, ofc we can disable it.
And it has this ip log info for “checking unknown entities”. Can they completely disable or remove this feature from their code? So they can proclaim they are “unable to log” instead they “do not log” - I think you know the french activist incident.
Btw I am not here to blame them.
Take a chill pill. There is nothing called privacy if you are using internet. If not the big bro companies, we are only left with companies like proton which is widely popular in privacy community. I recommend to use different service providers rather completely relying on one company.
Example: Mail - Proton, VPN - Mullvad, Drive - FIlen with cryptomator etc.

So you can’t trust swiss companies because of one company… when Switzerland has some of the strongest data privacy laws
It applies to Swiss citizens only. The rest is fair game…
Wow, I was just about to sign up for the paid plan. Now what do I do?

Yeah careful. They might tell the authorities that your IP you once used showed up in their web server logs.
Seriously don’t listen to the tinfoil crap. Proton can’t decrypt your shit. It is well worth the money.
Sign up for the paid plan and ignore this tinfoil-hat nonsense.
