    I often find the need for Proton’s encrypted email to be sonewhat dubious when Proton can’t (or won’t) fight secret court orders to collect logs on users. At the very least it means I typically don’t use a protonmail account more than once before signing up for a new one.

      Agreed, and these rarely come anyway because most of the time, the US courts can simply subpoena Google or Microsoft for access to the interlocutor’s sent and received emails, this only really occurs with Proton to Proton communication, which I have personally never done as no one I know uses Protonmail.

      Bref, better off just GPG signing and encrypting your emails and using a different provider. US courts can’t decrypt your mail more just because they subpoena’d it
