just adrienneSo if you're using Proton thinking it's "privacy-focused", it turns out they're giving data to the Feebs now. https://www.404media.co/proton-mail-helped-fbi-unmask-anonymous-stop-cop-city-protestor/
Nitin Khanna@adrienne so who's left?
Ángela Stella MatutinaNobody say Tuta, you're gonna jinx it.
Colorado Springs Anti-Fascists@angelastella @nitinkhanna @adrienne Tuta complies with orders from law enforcement too.
Don't trust any email provider with your credit card information, IP address, or phone number. Don't expect Tuta to fight government orders on your behalf. All of these companies will comply rather than go out of existence, so you need to make sure they don't have your PII to begin with.
@COSAntiFascists @nitinkhanna @adrienne
Yeah, my access to state services depends either on an email provider (had problems with Tuta until I showed up in person to settle the issue because they're not goddamn Google) or WhatsApp. Guess if I have to route PII via such channels.
@angelastella @nitinkhanna @adrienne You should compartmentalize your emails. Make a personal email and a separate one for radical projects. If you're using the email to access state services, Proton or Tuta giving your credit card data over due to an order from an overseas government is going to be the least of your worries.
The 404 article is about a proton email setup for an anonymous radical project that was investigated for terrorism. The alleged admin of this project made the mistake of paying for the email account with a payment method associated with their personal identity, which is how they were identified from the Proton account.
