I heard that they require plaintext data to work. What are the other factors to this?

    You’re not saying “I don’t know”. If you assume they’re lying, you’re also making a claim. One you can’t back up in this case.

    And another place your confused, Proton isn’t a typical corporate structure. It’s owned by a non-profit, almost charity, effectively. One who’s board of trustees is entirely scientists and engineers. Assuming they’ll operate the same way a publicly traded corporation would is a big category error.

      i don’t assume they are lying, I simply don’t blindly believe their advertising claims without tangible evidence.

      for example your claim of “no logging” is at best partially false, since their own privacy policy clearly states that IP addresses are at least temporarily collected, always and without exceptions.

      who is the owner and how the company is funded is not important here, they are selling products and advertising them through claims that need verification.
