proton is literally cia. they are modern cryptoAG
That's a bold claim, I'm gonna need a proper source to believe you
[citation needed]
I'm not saying that it's BS. I'm asking as someone who's on the brink of dropping 300€ on a year of "proton family". I'd like more than an unsubstantiated "they're crap" claim before making my decision.
I literally only started hearing people say its a honeypot after that one cat pfp youtuber was reviewing its onion services when proton released it, which used https for the onion domain, which he said "is the same thing honeypots do" or whatever
I'm kind of interested on this as well. I started using proton a few months ago when my ISP stopped supporting mailservers on consumer contracts.
Should I find something else?
nah proton is perfectly fine
