In fact, Proton Mail is not secure and not completely private.

When you send email to a non-Proton email address, the email has no security at all.

There is only some security when you send email from proton to another email from proton.

And even so, it is not a guarantee of security, because there are reports of password leaks and also of having handed over data to the government.

Therefore, Proton is not exactly a safe platform, as it will be facing the State.

The only advantage is if you can create an email with fake data and pay with cryptocurrency. Then yes, you can escape the state spotlight, which even in possession of the data, will find it difficult to locate you, if you use a vpn or tor to access your account.

Email is not a private protocol. There will probably never be a way to send an email to an arbitrary email address privately. If you are going to send an email, send it as if someone is going to be opening it up and looking through it.

If you need privacy, use something else, like Signal. If you need privacy AND anonymity, maybe something like Matrix would work? It's easier to ask someone to do that then to use PGP on top of email.

You won't find me arguing against you.

They are marginally better than gmail, but undoubtedly just as suspicious like them. The only major difference is trying to keep an appearance of otherwise, similar to Google in the early years.
