Is Your Email Secure & Encrypted? ProtonMail Founder Explains 

I’m not necessarily looking for encryption, but an alternative to big tech... because of the 2020 elections, I no longer trust big tech and will do anything and everything within my power to divorce myself from all big tech organisations... I’ve already closed Twitter, Gmail next, then Facebook etc... the next few months I will be focusing on that...

Same I am 100% legal but I don't want to be spied

Problems are opportunities for more than the altruistic. They are often fabricated specifically to pave the way for pre-engineered solutions that create the dependencies that enable oligarchies to arise to power and with it abuse. This created dependency is modern day slavery. This modus operandi has been used to establish every repressive oligarchy in history. Those who reduce dependency return power to the people and threaten the power of the oligarchy. They promote hatred and division between their dependents and those who refuse to be part of their oligarchy. This is the modus operandi used to establish every repressive oligarchy in the world. Thus the oligarchy grows in wealth and power with the most corrupt and ruthless being elevated to the top. China, Russia, Cuba, Venezuela, EU, and now we see it in the US we already have a two-tier justice system, you can obtain people's private telephone records and conversations without a warrant by simply asking and being a senior member of the oligarchy, persecution of those who don't comply using the legal system, and control of the press. There are two Chinas, mainland and Taiwan. Which worked out the best? Did Russia, Cuba, and Venezuela who controlled everything make things better or worse for the poor? The poor in the US are fabulously wealthy by their standards.

Jorge Siles Lol no.

jedikv That is partially true but the email will not be stored unencrypted on Protonmail’s servers. However there will be an unencrypted copy on the other end. You can also choose to send encrypted emails to non PM users that can be decrypted with your public key.

Non PM users..you can send password protected emails to them.

Charles Rollins how you do this ?

Tutanota has 1GB storage on free account and extra storage will cost 2.40€ per month and 28.80€ yearly (current offer 24€) but you'll get 10GB, Tutanota also have domains where as on Protonmail you'll get 500MB storage on free account and extra storage will cost 1€ per month or 9€ per year, one addresses but no custom domain you can get extra addresses but those will cost you 2€ per month or 18€ per year so overall depending how you're using and what service you need Protonmail is or may not be more affordable than Tutanota.

Sorry, but protonmail is a joke. Runbox is superior. Even gmx mail is better than protonmail. At least with gmx mail, you can use thunderbird or outlook to retrieve your mail. Protonmail won't give you anything for free. And their paid service doesn't give you much either.

I'm not guilty of anything but I would STILL not give up a password because it is no one's business. We should not be compelled and forced to give up our private emails/conversations to anyone and I won't. I discuss financial family issues, health issues, etc and it is no one's business but whom I choose to tell via encryption.

Yep, sad they would charge so much for a "bridge" to use it with other software like Thunderbird and Outlook.

Proton uses openPGP, it is basically an easy way for people who do not fully understand the concepts of public/private encryption-keys etc. It is definitely a good idea for people who are new to end-to-end asymmetric email encryption

Fuck u, FBI
