Proton upheld their claim of privacy, no Emails were disclosed. But they never promised anonymity cause that’s something they simply can’t do under the Swiss law. If you willingly give them your other mail addresses or contact details, they have to comply. Sure they could have denied the Spanish authorities, but it takes less than a week to get a court order for things like this.

“Seem”? An utterly wrong perception.
Does Proton
- read all contents of all emails (sent and received) and exploit them for targeted advertising?
- collect the metadata (who corresponds with whom)? and exploits …?
I do not understand why people continue to trust Proton. They seem no better than Gmail from where I sit.

The answer is: NO.
Clearly, they do collect metadata and share it with police for the asking. Personally, advertising seems the lesser evil.
They’re not perfect, but they’re nothing like Gmail. What email provider do you suggest?
