I just came across these “disturbing facts about proton mail”. Let’s say, hypothetically, that I administer a small org that now wants to move away from proton.

I guess I should just learn pgp, but that would be a tough sell for any boomer members.

EDIT: thanks for all the responses! It seems like my intuition was correct: email is inherently insecure, and proton is no worse than other email providers insofaras you don’t let their marketing cause you to drop your guard. If it’s illegal, keep it offline.

Email is unsecure but if you’re just worried about US and related companies and agencies snooping around and don’t mind at all if say RU ones snoop on you there’s Yandex as an alternative. I think now they require phone for sign ups so its not as easy as it used to be. There’s also QQ mail but that has the same issue.
