@tootbrute I went with Tuta due to the Proton CEO’s previous positive comments about Trump. They’ve been good for me.

@tootbrute @decryption it’s worth noting that any provider can be forced to turn over data in response to a valid order. Tuta is subject to German laws and courts and can also be forced to hand over metadata and unencrypted emails.

@piepants @decryption at this point maybe a north korean or russian or chinese email address might be a good thing?

at least you know you will be compromised from that country, but no other country in the world would be able to get you. safe from the other 199 countries.

@tootbrute In this scenario they’re actually the same.

If you use a credit card to pay for something that information is tied to you.

Use crypto, cash or a free account if you need to be anonymous with Proton. Use it through Thor as well

I hate to blame users but this was opsec error
