ProtonMail Complied with 5,957 Data Requests in 2022 – Still Secure and Private?

no one can ever know Protonmail is really encrypting mails. Opensourcing a piece of software doesn't really mean that Protonmail deployed that and also doesn't really mean that you are using their promised encryption.

Surely they could have an audit/attestation by 3rd party?

Worldcom passed audit I recalled. Enron too. FTC gave Bernie approval. How about FTX? Remember once uoon a time there was big 5 with one of them as Aurther Andersen? Did anyone auditted Securitum? And oh yeah did anyone actually verified what is being auditted and what is not? When so many info about a compromised Protonmail to law enforcers that Proton didnt even actively deny, I give Securitum as much confidence as AA 2 decade ago.

In your logic it seems impossible to be considered secure, since audits do not matter. Which email service do you consider secure and why?
