Proton services are encrypted, but all that they have to do to “backdoor” it is just sending you a javascript to your browser / update your app with code that would extract your keys and sent it over to them.
The encryption was not “backdoored”, they just retroacrively backdoored it.
They could even hold your data hostage until you update the apps.

Encoded would be the proper term then.
Yep. What’s the point of trusting “encoded” sensitive content that can be cracked at a whim by the company?
It’s times like these where self hosting is a blessing.
