  What service do you trust and why?

  I’m interested in what you use for mail service. Self hosting?

    I just use gmail. Privacy is dead. See the problem with services like proton mail and tor is it concentrates the activity of people with something to hide. It makes you a target

  Like any company, Proton must follow court orders, but our encryption can never be bypassed. Also, in 2021, Proton won a court case that changed the way the law is applied (https://proton.me/blog/court-strengthens-email-privacy https://proton.me/blog/court-strengthens-email-privacy). Also, Switzerland has no logging obligations for VPN, so you can always use Proton VPN.

    The metadata is as important as the message in many cases and very few people actually use PGP. If both sides use Proton mail the assumption is their browsers are secure. One plugin wrong and the screenshots will leak. PGP is a 90’s solution. It’s time for something radically new

      While PGP was originally invented in the 90s, the latest iterations of OpenPGP, which Proton plays a key role in evolving and modernizing, looks nothing like the PGP of the 90s, and is now incorporating more and more modern features while maintaining the principles of interoperability. https://proton.me/blog/openpgpjs-4-streaming-encryption https://proton.me/blog/openpgpjs-4-streaming-encryption
