    it’s always disappointing when people all about FOSS and shit suggest Proton to people looking to switch from google. no, don’t do that. use Tuta or self host or ANYTHING other than Proton. it’s such a shit company that does not deserve the praise they receive.

      So Tuta would refuse a legal order from their government?

          they would probably comply with a German legal order

          So…why is Tuta better again?

              You’re replying to a comment chain that said “use Tuta”.

                They are saying that they are technically right.

          The answer is no. They would not refuse a legal order from their own government. And it’s ridiculous people think that.

      Tuta are also a for-profit company, aren’t they? Just one that currently has better published positions than most. Use them, but make sure you keep a path to the exit door in view.
