I loved proton years ago… even did a paid account for a while. This isn’t their first wtf moment and won’t be their last. The problem for me, its that I expect more carefulness and thoughtfulness from a company that promotes encryption and privacy.

Showing me how easily you make mistakes is a quick way for me to question how well you’re safeguarding the platform.

I’ve moved away. Will take some time for them to earn back the trust, but honestly… I don’t see a huge need for them anymore. I simply don’t consider email secure. If you want real secure communication (that you can host on a server yourself) Matrix and XMPP are a much better choice.

Anyway… the response is nice. Just doesn’t fix anything.

Hands down, one of the nicest obituaries I’ve ever read.
