@Nantika accusing Proton of being a honey pot is a pretty serious accusation. Do you have anything to back this up? All I've seen about the Proton team has been that they are pro-privacy, and very much opposed to explicitly anti-privacy companies like Google. 
Their code is open source, if a privacy leak exists in their code and/or their published binaries and open source code don't match someone should be able expose it.
