    FYI I’ve seen people on Lemmy express negative views about ProtonMail for supposedly being a honeypot, and for their support of Belarus & Hong Kong protesters.

      I don’t use ProtonMail for anything illicit, but also I wonder to what extent ProtonMail could even be a honeypot. It’s all encrypted, open source, and hosted in Switzerland and a handful of other countries. I feel like it would take coordinated effort among several countries to get ahold of my emails and I’m not nearly important enough for this.
