This whole discussion is about a government forcing Proton mail to take actions. Telling me to “read up on pfs” is irrelevant by your own admission. ProtonMail can be compelled to give up their keys, or to hand them over for all current/future transactions.
So once again…
“read up on pfs”
“Pfs doesn’t matter”
Literally this post.
You cannot rely on MTAs to transmit ANYTHING securely in the context of this discussion. Period. There is no E2E when there’s an MTA involved unless you’re doing GPG/PGP or S/MIME. Nobody does this though… Like literally nobody. I’ve got both setup and have NEVER had an encrypted email go through because nobody else does it. It doesn’t matter what Proton claims to support.
That’s it. Telling anyone to read up on anything when they’re 100% correct is asinine.
Email in transit is not encrypted. At least not encrypted by anything that the government can’t compel the company to hand over.
Edit:

This is what I originally said. It was clear. I don’t know why you’re arguing otherwise.
PFS matters where a party hasn’t already been compromised. Not so hard.
