I think I know the answer, bit maybe I’m missing something
Since proton only sends and receives encrypted emails to other proton accounts, that means that when you get or send an email to someone else, they have to send / receive unencrypted and there is no way for us to verify what they are doing. Right?
Also if most accounts are google Microsoft, they still get 90% of my emails. By switching to proton I think I’ve gained nothing, while losing convenience , added another trust point, and having two different companies have my data instead of just one
Proton drive, calendar and VPN I think are fine
Sorry for the poor syntax. I’m at work working on email related things, and this topic kept distracting me. I might correct it later
Email is never private, even with encrypted email, headers give away metadata. HOWEVER, Tuta & Proton are not scanning your emails to market shit to you and train AI. That’s the main advantage.
You can’t know if they are not reading you emails to do anything. That is the issue. Because of how email works, we know that they COULD. And experience tells us that tech companies profit from breaking promises and laws.
Problem is where you send emails to is.
Yeah. That’s ops whole point.
Except that proton released their LLM AI so maybe they will start doing that?
No they probably won’t, proton is not a big enough company to train it’s own large language model instead they are using already available open source models.
