much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
This wasn't the case, at all. Proton simply handed the entire mailbox decrypted.
That seems unlikely since your data is encrypted with a password they don't have.
I'm simply reporting on what I've been told and saw. Form what I read seem to be using asymmetric encryption and generating a private key itself protected with your password when you sign up. There's no guarantee they don't have an unprotected copy of that as well.
You were being mislead with false information. Share appropriate sources to back up whatever you are saying. Proton has regular audits for security and encryption for all their products, which makes whatever you've been told pretty much false information
What's more likely? a) I'm being mislead by someone that actually got into legal trouble that involved them and isn't profiting in any way from it or b) You / everyone else that simply is eating their marketing and PR is being mislead in some way.
Truth is, none of us can prove their claims and auditors are true.
