@knittingknots not surprising at all...
WHEN ARE #TechIlliterates GOING TO LEARN TO ENCRYPT EVERYTHING IN A SECURE MANNER?
Learn GnuPG/OpenPGP and fecking #InfoSec, #OpSec & #ComSec...
I'll gladly teach people...

@[email protected] amd that's why noone.should.trust any #platform with #security or #encryption. Or as @[email protected] once said: " I’m gonna tell you a secret about “logless VPNs” — they don’t exist. Noone is going to risk jail for your $5/mo " - https://mobile.twitter.com/thegrugq/status/1085614812581715968 Also "#LawfulInterception" exists and EVERY SINGLE PROVIDER WILL SNITCH ON CUSTOMERS before risking getting unplugged by regulators and to be hold in contempt for customer's actions.
@husbandpanda @knittingknots #ProtonMail is also a shitty #proprietary platform and they have not only the capability to snitch on users but have done so without due diligence in the past already.
Like not even faking to say "come back with a warrant" and then "here's the encrypted mailbox - have fun trying to crack it cuz we can't!" because they shure as hell can!
Proper #E2EE means ONLY THE END USER has the Keys.
Same for any other "solution" like Tutanote, Threema, etc.
I don't expect people to run their own mailservers - far from it.
But #Thunderbird has #GnuPG / #OpenPGP support integrated for years now.
And even on mobile there's #OpenKeychain and #K9Mail...
Now if you're using #Apple's OSes you're fecked anyway cuz they scan "for #CSAM" regardless if you use #iCloud or consent to that shit!
@husbandpanda @knittingknots And #Windows too is also a giant #Govware...
Sad to say, but #ToldYaSo ages ago...
@husbandpanda @knittingknots And yes, #Thunderbird - which is included in #Ubuntu LTS for over a decade, which is completely free - also does #GnuPG / #OpenPGP transparently.
To the point that I've to do more steps to sent an unencrypted eMail, as it defaults to encrypted eMails.

@[email protected] @[email protected] I have literally used protonmail SOLELY for the purpose of one click PGP and I have yet to see a single person actually accept the PGP key I attach to every email.
