1. Those who need it will be relieved to know they're protected by crook affiliates!

[Dave Bowman]

2. I stopped using them some time ago. Mail.com is far better.

4. Signal

The gentleman that gave the presentation - who works on immigrant rights - recommended Signal.

6. Signal is great but it's a messaging app, not email

[Arazi]

7. Yup. I use Signal only

[Dave Bowman]

9. Thanks, I'll give it a try.

5. American owned and this subject to the data free-for-all

Of American data non-protection.

12. I only use them as throwaway mail addresses.

3. They are a Swiss-owned organization

They are not Trump supporters, but they recently made some congratulatory bullshit announcement. Please get the nuances of this right. They are still under Europe's stringent data protection laws.

8. Just Passing Info Along

That was passed to me.

[LearnedHand]

10. I get that but it's important to be responsible

To NOT pass along disinformation. Proton email is encrypted end-to-end, so who might benefit from scaring people away from using it?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

11. Yes. "Trust but verify" news reports / articles / videos. . . . nt

13. If you want secure email with another party then use PGP/GPG/GPGWIN public key encryption with Thunderbird email

or Outlook email. You can also use it to encrypt files that you upload to the cloud or web servers.
