Signal yes, Proton I have my doubts
I think yours is the first comment I've read that has Proton hesitancy. I'm curious what your reservations are.
Not OP
There's not a lot of negative press about them.
They complied with Swiss government requests to out the IP of a French activist.
It looks like they're really doing the best they can.
True but the guy was the one at fault and Proton had to comply. The French Activist was using ProtonMail e-mail for bad usages which is what it boiled down to. You left out the part where they complied with Swiss government yes but they didn't with the French authorities.
Yet it still comes down to people's own responsibility. But people love to throw that out the window and expect everything to protect them when they get up in shit.
I don't trust ANYONE to decide on my behalf what a "bad usage" is.
Piss off with your entitlement.
