If proton hashed your email how the fuck would they send you an email? Did you even think this through?

They're doing the best they can, but at the end of the day it's literally impossible for them to have absolutely zero data.

They need your credit card number stored somewhere so they can repeatedly bill you. That's just how billing works. They need a recovery email on file so they can email that address.

That doesn't mean that they're not committed to defending freedom.

I'll echo what other people have said: this feels like a psyop. If I were the CIA, I would be doing exactly what you're doing here: spewing unreasonable nonsense about proton in an effort to discredit it so that I can push people towards insecure services.

Nothing even comes close to proton when it comes to email security and privacy. That doesn't mean that we cant criticize proton - we can, and we should. But it has to be legitimate critique.

By asking you to provide it again if you click the "recover account" button, comparing what you enter against the hash, and then sending recovery into to the valid email you provided
