The move came after 404 Media published an investigation into how Proton CEO Andy Yen was aggressively pushing AI across Proton despite security concerns and the culture of fear he has created.
I’ve been using a combination of Google and Microsoft office products since forever, I’d love to switch, but I really don’t understand where the hell I’m supposed to go. I can’t really self-host (I only have a phone and laptop that I use as mobile devices) and I’d really like to not have to actively think about how my email works when I’m using it. I was sort of hoping Proton would be it, but they just keep sucking harder and harder, they don’t seem like a viable alternative anymore.
The only other secure location I have heard is Tuta Mail but I have seen reports that they also use AI with their source code but the difference between Tuta Mail and Proton is that Tuta Mail hasn’t pushed their devs so hard or called them losers for worrying about security issues. I think the biggest complaint right now about Proton is the fact that their CEO doesn’t respect his people and is chasing money instead of taking care of the non-profit and their securty minded customers. If you’re just looking for an email that just doesn’t scan your stuff with AI and things like that, Port87.com might suit your needs.

Does anyone here have some advice?
