Proton mail is a CIA front email provider

  Hmm... should I choose a provider with a history of spying on everyone and destabilization, or Google? ...OK, I'll go with the CIA.

  It is impossible to tell if this is satire or not.

  I actually wish this was true. I want an email service that would last forever and is secure enough from my threats, namely security breaches of the email host and account takeover from non state actors. Gmail is close enough, but I want an alternative. An email service run by the nsa or the cia would be great. (No sarcasm is intended)

  Proton Mail's extremely bureaucratic operational deafness, and their glacial pace of product features and open-sourcing, would certainly lend support to that idea.

  That is a false statement: https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonMail/comments/14demhj/debunking_proton_and_ciansa_fake_news/ https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonMail/comments/14demhj/debunki.... To address the broader topic of this thread, there is no comparison between Crypto AG and us. Our encryption occurs client-side, our cryptographic code is open source ( https://proton.me/community/open-source https://proton.me/community/open-source ), and our tech can and has been independently verified.
