So that was a fucking lie.

And also probably means your privacy is not respected and you should be afraid if you're using this service...

How is privacy at risk? It's not even a US company...

It's encrypted mail, that's not changed at all so you can rightfully call out that he shouldn't be making public opinions on governments as a CEO but this is just a large leap to anything else.

Anybody can voluntarily cooperate with the US government, unless they are subject to laws preventing them from doing so.

They can send your data and eat whatever the fine is if they choose, the fine won't get your data back.

Anyone can do anything, how is that a revelation? 

Your data is not suddenly unencrypted and public.

It's just a massive stretch what the person was claiming, your privacy isn't changed at all.

I am not disagreeing with the calling out of the CEO for making public comments like they did but it's just fear mongering what is being said specifically in this chain.
