So many complaints about the headline, but for the purpose of getting their point across to the masses and encouraging the use of as-secure-as-can-be-known software, it’s perfectly fine.

If you cover your ass in a headline, which ultimately ends as legalese, the average person will completely ignore it due to wordiness or they will become suspicious and assume the worst.

The body and attachments do not mislead at all and that should be commended.

All this pedantry is counterproductive unless you truly know and trust your audience. Proton should be for the masses, not just for the technically adept.
