Same thing with email. It's all well and good if you're using ProtonMail or Tuta or Posteo, but you're still cooked if the other side is using Gmail.

Old problems, new modi operandi.

Afaik, with proton you can send messages that won't open through gmail if you protect them with a password. The other person receives a message with a link to open the mail in a browser after entering the password. It's not the easiest solution but if you want to avoid gmail from knowing the contents of a message, you can do that.

But windows recall scrapes your screen, so even that wouldn't work.

"But they are stored locally! Certainly, Microsoft won't have access to those, right? Right???"

You can send self destructing messages with Protonmail

Do Proton remotely erase the message on the recipient's email server? Even if it's not a protonmail server?

They burn down the datacenter if they are not deleted in time.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong because I don't know how proton works on this. These type of things usually don't send the protected content in the email to the recipient's server, they just send a link that the recipient opens and it's all still kept on the private service's server.

Good morning, Mr. Phelps.

Gotta reduce risk where you can.
