But if your group doesn’t have the time, capacity, or willingness for each member to spend ~90 minutes with the CLDC doing an email encryption training and providing ongoing support, ProtonMail might be the best choice for you.

As a service that manages your encryption keys for you, ProtonMail can’t offer as strongly guaranteed security as classic PGP/GPG encrypted email. Despite the worrisome recent news, ProtonMail is nevertheless a reasonable choice for encrypted email. The CLDC has expressed reservations that ProtonMail may not be the best choice for activists. Since this Register article was recently published, some activists are concerned about whether or not ProtonMail can be trusted.
