So I thought proton mail was zero knowledge e2e encrypted and open source. But this email guide says they scan all emails. How is that?
Proton receives all incoming emails as plain text and scans it for spam. Then they claim to encrypt it.
The only e2e encryption is proton to proton, and even then if its in a web browser you're putting massive trust in them. The subject lines are unencrypted, all metadata unencrypted.
I think this is why online privacy is so intimidating. I actually try to make mine better but I always seem to find out later what ive been doing is subpar. I think it makes people want to throw their hands up. I guess proton is better than gmail. I love their suite of products too. The email aliases are awesome when using proton pass. Just makes it easy.
Yeah I hear where you’re coming from. There’s a lot of companies that prey on lack of knowledge to make money. So first I have to convince people on why privacy to begin with, then convince them to not use the scams.
Nice, thank you!
Maybe add Manjaro in the linux distros; it's based on Arch, but more user friendly.
Can you elaborate on why you like Manjaro over original Arch?
I haven't tried it yet.
I just know it's a very popular alternative that people like. But now I noticed that in your article, you only list 1 of each distro tree (debian is missing too!), is that on purpose?
