Okay, now #Proton is out.

@gedvondur @Tutanota I've been on the fence the last 24hrs about it. It's not a clear Google-level evil action, but the tension I'm seeing in how they're handling it in public and the difference in priorities of the board & CEO leave me in a place of uncertainty about their long term values. I'm not in a threat vector to be at risk, but I do have a choice in where I throw my money. The Tuta crew have been much more clear and consistent about their values, so it feels like the right move for me at this point.
@tomasino @gedvondur @Tutanota TBF that could just be down to a more skillful PR staff.

@andrew @tomasino @gedvondur just the amount of unecrypted emails that is leaving proton's servers while the users think otherwise because of proton's pr communication, is *staggering*

@andrew @tomasino @gedvondur it's good for *you* that *you* did not misunderstand their claims, but i'd say they were purposefully designed to be misunderstood --- and actually were, too ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@gedvondur I guess so. I don’t see how a company can legally circumvent a court ruling.
@tomasino @Tutanota@alelab @gedvondur @tomasino @Tutanota The irony seems to be that using the free account provides more protection.

@realgnomidad @tomasino In case you'd like some more info, here's a guide we have on Tuta for small businesses: https://tuta.com/blog/small-business-email-address

@gedvondur @oleksify @tomasino @Tutanota To be fair, he didn’t endorse Trump, he commented on the nomination of Gail Slater for the DoJ antitrust division. I don’t know enough about Slater but from a cursory look it doesn’t seem like a controversial nomination, so I think some context around what actually was said may be important here (that said, I fully endorse Tuta! I only wish they had a VPN and Authenticator app too!)

@tomasino @gedvondur @Tutanota oh my god they complied with a legal order from the Swiss court. Tuta would have done the same. Go read the threat model https://proton.me/blog/protonmail-threat-model

@tomasino @Tutanota Well done. Proton is complete garbage in my opinion, and I feel they can't be trusted with your personal data. I was using their VPN for a while and out of nowhere, I started getting very specific targeted ads. I can't prove it, but I think the VPN client logs and sends your browing history to all sort of third parties.
