Pretty torn on this. One the one hand he's not wrong. On the other, it probably means proton are going to leak everyone's email to the world and cease trading shortly afterwards.

> The memo is not an in-depth engineering document. It does not delve into the specifics of security, reliability, or infrastructure.
Amazing. I think South Park did it first.
