Once again Proton hand over data on an activist to authorities, this time to the FBI via the Swiss High Court.

Proton is unsafe for use by frontliners.

Group-wide selfhosted mail is so often the solution here, but it needs to be done right, and with strong operational security posture. This includes the jurisdictional layer relative to operating context.

And yet #selfhosted mail is famously hard. We dedicate much time to this, deploying a full blown high-reputation MTA with webmail frontend, in the Fortress sessions https://courses.nikau.io/fortress/

@realn2s Riseup have been around for ages and are an activist favourite, but still bound to local laws (California).

I agree, they remain too skinny on details, esp given how vulnerable they will be in the US right now.

It would be good to see them move out, say, to an Icelandic DC.
