Email is inherently insecure. If you want or need secure communications, that’s what software like Briar, Matrix, or Signal (yes despite some drama).

Secure emails can always be done manually with PGP and will be a lot hardier than trusting an organization that gives away subscriber payments to Western-backed coup attempts and color revolutions.

    if your intent is to break the law, Even in Russia, people can go to jail for blasphemy. i think I’ve heard of similar cases in Australia and the UK, but maybe not just based on blasphemy, but race or voicing the wrong opinion. ‘Right’ and ‘wrong’ have changed and will continue to change throughout history.

    Protonmail has its place, but it is good to be careful about what you say in certain places. Chances are high that if you wrote some unpopular (for the times) opinion or admitted to an unpopular act that your kid or even grandkid might be more likely to also share those views. So, I’d say you are putting your progeny at risk by sloppily voicing opinions or acts.
