ProtonMail, a managed email service popular with the crypto community, surrendered a user’s information to Spanish authorities, leading privacy rights advocates to claim it had violated its sworn promise to protect user data.
ProtonMail is based in Switzerland and uses privacy and security themes in all of its corporate messaging. Like Switzerland’s once-enviable numbered bank accounts, ProtonMail made allusions to Swiss privacy, pseudonymity, and jurisdictional legal protections from the power of certain subpoenas. As a result of this marketing campaign, it attracted many crypto users who wanted a private email service.
In this instance, the user was a member of Mossos d’Esquadra, a police force in Catalonia. Spanish authorities identified him via subpoenas to ProtonMail and Apple.
The secure email service provided police with a recovery email address that revealed the pseudonym ‘Xuxo Rondinaire.’ Alongside information from Apple related to that recovery email and pseudonym, Spanish authorities believe he assisted the Democratic Tsunami movement.

It is still WAY more secure than Google.
many high ranked ranking wash dc officials use protonmail
John Podesta was one of them.
I wouldnt doubt the post office on privacysimply because any pkg tou send has its restrictions and those are selectively xrayed or pulled aside because. it looks suspicious and there are post office guidelines for suspicious pkgs.
Letter mail? watch a few ytubes on how letter mail is handled and you will see that its nearly impossible to tamper with.
There are dishonest postal carriers and mail handlers but they are not prolific and the post office deals with them swiftly.
There’s one in Nashville too.
That’s all good to hear. Trust me, I look forward to the day when I can finally cut ties to the WWW. I remember what it was like to not have all this and the only ties to the outside world was the telephone (rotary preferred LOL) and physically meeting people in a social setting.
I use protonmail. I just created a free new account and then I used that new account to be my recovery account. My new free account is recovered by my current account.
So the moral of the story is this,learn how to do /use/create 1 time pads use them by hand! This means Uncle Sam is totally out a the loop & can’t be in the loop unless you let the bastard in!😁
So open a library book & start studying encryption & how to do it long hand!Yes its more work but is more secure.
I’m trying to figure out why you addressed that to me. I’m not asking for help (or insults) and am fully aware of the perils of expecting privacy in today’s world and how to make it a little harder on them to ‘read my mail’.
