AND, even so, only ever transmit stuff you'd be fine with the fed reading.
Save the important details for IRL.
Leading up to the revolutionary war, we met in taverns, churches and the town squares and plotted. And, leave those dumb phones at home when you go! Or a faraday bag.
Is there any phone like a flip that avoids most of this app crap?
I have no phone except a land line. PC is ethernet grounded.
Asking for a friend who wants to ditch his phone but the company he works for is dictating the use of the cell or be fired. For craps sake he just needs it on his job for calls and texting.
First, Proton is not a bad company, they do a good job with their services. However, they were created by people from CERN...
The issues are mainly with email itself. If you send an email from Proton mail to Proton, that's the most secure, everything stays within their server and does not go out on the open internet.
As soon as you send your email to the server and it is then sent to another server outside the domain you sent to, the email goes through a number of email relays out on the open internet. Email is intercepted and stored potentially at several places along the way. While it's normally encrypted when you send it from your server to your domain's mail server, it's decrypted there and then sent "plain text" to the next relays. These are called "trap nodes" and they are put in places to gather as much of this info as possible and they are typically run by security services like NSA. Additionally, inside big data centers, there is the "NSA room", where I personally know they capture every email and web site visit that goes through that data center. Every major power is in on this game now. China, thru front company Hurricane Electric controls 19% of the addresses on the internet, so you should assume they are running mail servers and capturing your email, too.
You have no control over the other relay servers. It's literally like sending a postcard anyone can read.
Signal Messenger for the win.

We stopped using Signal. See why...

And +100 for Faraday bags.
Yea, that’s why there’s really NO secure comms. Transmit accordingly.

I'll order that, I have four Baofengs.
That there’s the Baofeng Bible.
I am ordering have 2 Baofengs.
Yes
So glad I have no phone, nor use that app! But thank You for all the Ones who are yet unaware!
Encrypted signals are like dirty electricity, but in RFR. Tetra, for example, and the experiment on the British police to make them compliant.
Prodigious thanks for the extremely enlightening information. My family just deleted our Whatsapp apps.
If you ever wondered why Viber and WhatsApp are free, they record all the calls and messages, which can be accessed by governments.
Just putting this out there are a fun fact. Here's the location of all the Meta Data Centers in the USA:

even some landline international calls are routed through DC
Thanks for this.
New to your writings.

can you address the 'proton' type emails? Are they 'secure'?

This is why email is so dangerous.
hate to see that CERN is involved.
Several of the founders used to work there. Not sure what the relationship (if any) is now.
