Comment on How to turn off Gemini in Gmail — and why you should | Proton
TheTechnician27@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoThe post is just an ad disguised as a guide
That said:
its obvious they want to be like google but with “privacy” as a gimmic because its only private until they get a government order telling them to do something to unmask a user or monitor an email.
Besides the fact that Proton is based in Switzerland where government warrants aren’t issued willy-nilly, please learn how the mathematics behind encryption works – or, if not, at least trust that it does. For emails that are sent E2EE, Proton can only have garbled data that requires a key they don’t have.
You’re just constantly talking out your ass, and I have no idea why; it’s so unearned. Like I’m not going to debate you on whether ads or corporations are good because a) I broadly agree and b) that’s just, like, our opinions, man, but then you just say shit that’s so demonstrably untrue that all I can think is: “I fucking hate what this decade has done to people.”

Email is not end to end encrypted and this is the first of protons many misleading claims. Best case the contents is encrypted but not info like recipents or senderz IP. Leading to less knowledgeable activists not understanding that using protons vpn and their email together can actually lead to users giving proton more then enough info for law enforcement to track someo e down.
Proton doesnt even hide this if you look at their reports they comply with court orders regularly. In theory proton could also back door any of their users keys since everything is done on the fly in the browser and proton controls all of the code. (But im sure we can trust that proton will only comply if the targeted user is a criminal)
People who actually care about encryption already had a solution long before proton, called PGP and thats yet to be broken. Why other then vendor lock in would you encourage people to use anything else? (this is a criticism i have of tuta also)
Also just fyi proton moved out of Switzerland last year for guess what… Legal reasons!
Glad to hear you agree with me and dont want to debate because literally none of what ive said is speculative.
