We understand your concerns, however there is no comparison between Crypto AG and us. Our encryption occurs client-side, our cryptographic code is open source ( https://proton.me/community/open-source ), and our tech can and has been independently verified.

Client side encryption can be weakened (by a well placed "bug" for example) as to render it irrelevant.

Our infrastructure is set up in a way that makes it very difficult to target specific users with custom builds.
