Nobody is your friend... but at least proton isnt logging your data and selling ads into your inbox.... that's good enough for me...
Check your threat model... 90% of people arent doing direct action that needs protection from nation states.... and proton isnt big enough to protect you from nation states. (pretty sure they tell you that they have to comply with legal, swiss laws)
Stop trying to scare people into going back to gmail.... there will always be flaws in proton/tuta/whatever mail service....
Go try running your own email if you truly need perfect privacy and anonymity
100% agree with your take.
Why scare people looking to ditch google with stupid stuff like "but they complied with the government", bruh google complies with anyone who has their wallet in-hand.
ProtonMail is a free inbox and is privacy friendly. Yes there are other options, but this isn't a bad one by any means.
