Proton has always been shitty. They don't even give you the encryption keys. Always been a red flag for me.

Not your keys, not your encryption.

For most people, having access to their own encryption keys will cause for data loss.

Most countries have systems in place that you can do proper audits on companies which you can trust. You can audit companies for securities or financial reports which are the most common once, but you can also audit a VPN if they keep logs or not (Pure VPN has done this) and you can audit them if they have access to your encryption keys or not.

We really need to normalise that kind of control to keep companies in check.
