Article makes good points. But clearly they are promoting their own product, over Gmail, and compete directly with them.

One thing I find troubling is that they seem to be making their own false claim.

>Because we do not have access to the recipient’s private key, we are never able to read the message. We do have access to metadata, like the email addresses, timestamp, and subject line.

I am not sure how proton could send messages to anyone if they didn't know the recipients address!

EDIT: I'm stupid, please disregard this. They clearly state that the DO have access to metadata (for some reason my head read it as DO NOT).




I don't see where they claim they don't know the recipient's address.


I'm an idiot. I miss read the sentence.


It literally says that they have access to the email address in what you quoted.
