Which is totally bonkers since surveillance happens primarily in transit. If he's communicating with someone through PGP via Protonmail, it's just as secure as if he would do it through his own email. All of his banking details - things like that - are just as exposed on any email service (except maybe Google cause they read your inbox for "user experience").
The only time he mentions email in the vid is to say that its not secure and you shouldn't use it. Email was definitely not the focus of the vid.
Yeah fair enough, I'm just nit-picking for discussion's sake to be honest.
