Search Risk – How Google Almost Killed Proton Mail (proton.me)

Google is excelling again - as the whole "uncensored" Big-Tech IT now.

The short summary is that for nearly a year, Google was hiding Proton Mail from search results for queries such as ‘secure email’ and ‘encrypted email’. This was highly suspicious because Proton Mail has long been the world’s largest encrypted email provider.

It’s still misleading

For sure, I'm not suggesting otherwise. Just giving some additional context as to why it may have been posted again.

Thank you

In what sense? The Google and other companies are censoring extensively. Maybe it started already in 2016 but now there is tons of evidence and it's properly documented. So the discussion is appropriate.

It’s an 8 year old article and you didn’t spark any discussion or context such as this, so it comes off as extremely misleading regardless of what you intended I won’t be replying further man I think I’ve made myself pretty clear

That's the correct attitude! We need more people like this to enrich discussion and show others how it's done.
