ProtonMail - the only email system the NSA can't access?

Saw this article today, thought it might be of use to many of those who frequent the board. Haven't given it a look yet myself... But thoughts on its viability, especially for sellers?

Blatantly false advertising.

Any entity, imbued with sufficient levels of determination, may be considered unstoppable. If the NSA wants in, they will (eventually) get in.

There is a great thread on The Hub discussing the most secure email providers. As far as clearnet email providers go...ProtonMail is defintely recognized as one of the most secure.

Not accesible by the NSA...not so much IMO.

Riseup.net is the best.

pretty sure NSA can access anything they want when they have backdoors into the actual hardware that internet backbone providers are using.

doesnt matter what you do, they have access.

basically, if you dont want the NSA to see what you are doing, then you need to encrypt everything.

Honestly GMAIL is probably the most secure. I heard the NSA can't access it.
