Seems it’s using PGP behind the scenes?! And sending unencrypted mails to everyone who isn’t using Proton or PGP… How is that handled in the UI? Is that transparent to the user once encryption gets turned off? Because then I don’t see any issue. Yeah, they also offer regular mail. But that’s not a crime. It’d be of concern if the UI misleads the user into thinking a mail is encrypted when it isn’t.
Yeah, the article also doesn’t make it clear enough what it’s even talking about…
I found a description of Proton Mail’s e2ee: https://proton.me/blog/what-is-end-to-end-encryption
