Proton retains your data definitively, and although it is encrypted, they’re the ones who generate your encryption key as well. If they want to act maliciously, they are totally able to.

Skiff collects the pages you visited before using their webmail - creepy:

This is so awful it’s funny. You’ve truly mastered the spirit of a dad joke.

I always thought the party of sourcing from local wasn’t transport but supporting your local economy and small producers, keeping the money within your city and raising buying power for its citizens.
