Just joined tuta a week ago from jumping ship out of Proton. They had a pretty nice sale going on.
When I emailed their support team about this, they went real fucking weird on the response.
They linked to that medium post too. They linked to a random Reddit post.
They said things like, “He can’t be racist”, which is fucking weird because I was pointing out that I don’t want a company that focuses on privacy to be licking the boot of any government. Which is extra strange they didn’t bring that up at all.
Proton and their whole company is suspicious as fuck. I absolutely believe if their company starts to flounder financially, they’re going to sell access - no question.
