ProtonMail works best when you’re emailing other ProtonMail users - as those emails will automatically be secure. What makes ProtonMail special is that its email features end-to-end encryption, meaning that governments, or the company itself, cannot gain access to its customer’s emails. “This way, we put the choice in the hands of the consumer, and not government regulators.” Email with end-to-end encryption “The best way to ensure that encryption and privacy rights are not encroached upon is to get the tools into the hands of the public as soon as possible and widely distributing them,” ProtonMail’s co-founder Andy Yen said in the blog post. In ProtonMail’s blog post, the company says it opened public registration due to “recent challenges against encryption and privacy.” The timing of the app launch was not coincidental, as ProtonMail hits app stores less than a week before the monumental court hearing, in which Apple will defend its decision to defy a court order that asked Apple to create a backdoor so the FBI can access the San Bernardino shooter’s iPhone.
“We are really the first to put to the test the idea of whether consumers are willing to pay for their privacy.”
