You'd trust a company thats primary business model is based on the mass collection, analysis, and monetization of user data to protect your private data? Not saying I trust proton mail, but as far as I'm concerned Google is a malicious actor when it comes to my data same as Facebook, and I believe it's in individuals's best interest to limit their exposure
- dymk 7y agoI trust the company who is under global regulatory scrutiny 24/7, and watched like hawks by every major news organization in the world for them to slip up. If Protonmail fucks up, there's not going to be a NYT article about it.
- srfilipek 7y agoThink about the different user bases and sources of revenue. If google screws up, they might see a small blip in add revenue before recovering. If Protonmail screws up, then they'll lose paying customers which is their only source (presumably) of revenue.
- joshuamorton 7y agoI can't say for sure, but I'd guess that Gmail has many more paying customers than protonmail. This feature exists specifically for those paying (enterprise/gsuite) customers.
