    I’m using Proton for privacy, not anonymity. I’ve literally put my name and surname in my email address. I don’t care if someone knows that me is me.

    But I do care that no one is reading and/or automatically processing my mails.

      Same. My real name is on mine too. Everything you give an email to that isn’t Google is one more piece of data Google doesn’t have presumably. If those corrupt bastards collect the aggregate anyways, that still costs them money. If it’s automated, guess what? Aggregating our data still costs money, and data centers are expensive to maintain. Every little but matters.
