I'm using Proton right now. Someone suggest I should get a Gmail instead for higher chance of success. Is that true? How risky is it for Google sanning those mails in terms of privacy?

They do say that. And I can't say they'd tell us if they started. But for the moment let's assume they still don't. I also can't say that they'd tell us if the government asked them to. But let's put a pin in that too.

They do not claim not to scan the SMTP and mail transport. We know that they do scan it try to discern spam.

Do you trust them not to sell that juicy email they just scanned from an external email address?
