Okay, now #Proton is out.

@gedvondur @tomasino @Tutanota I guess the fact that their CEO is Trump supporter is still echoing around internet. They try to silence it down, and probably tought him to keep his opinions to himself, but damage already was done.

@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.
