I know the CEO dug himself a pretty deep hole recently.

I had been meaning to switch all the services I currently use over to proton - but his remarks gave me pause.

Is it still worth considering?

Do you have sources for all of this?!

Tired. In auto-pilot mode for the last 3 hours.

Part of it is based on the OpenPGP standard itself, e.g. you only need the passphrase to decrypt your emails, not to encrypt them and certainly not to change your settings.

Part of it is based on experience.

Part of it actually needs a few sources; the Lavabit part is speculative but solid, there are bread crumbs all over the web.

Yeah, get some sleep! I too would love to see sources and read up on this, but maybe some other kind soul will elaborate while you rest 👍
