    Depends in what field. Proton, at least, doesn’t scan your email contents and metadata to sell it on to advertisers.

      FWIW Gmail no longer sells your email data to advertisers either. That changed years back.

        I’m gonna need some evidence before I believe Google isn’t analyzing all the data that passes through it unencrypted.

          All data sent through protons mta is also unencrypted. That’s how mail mtas function.

        Google doesn’t sell your data because they don’t need to. They take the data and use something called Real Time Bidding that also skirts GDPR and data protection laws/best practices.

        People in this thread are really showing their ass about how little they know about how their data is actually being collected and protected. Sure, Proton isn’t 100% private, but to say Proton and Gmail are on the same levels of consumer protection is hilarious.
