Let's see what europes e2ee ban will bring. Proton is one of the "high risk" services mentioned in the bills debate. Might not be too long before you have to host your own mail server if you want privacy in europe.
I'm probably going to downvoted to hell with this... But didn't people say Proton might be a government Op, even Tuta was mentioned as a honeypot in a recent Court case, so they released a blog post titled: Tuta is not a honeypot....
Idk... my guts tell me, if something is too good to be true, then it's not true... Proton offerings are amazing for a free plan... And their clients looks good and they sponsor YT channels... I used to be happy to see an Open source project succeed as a business, but the concept of honeypots, made me rethink my view
@electro1 @ISOmorph imagine your enemy has infinite money, manpower, and resources to turn against you.
why would the DoD give away a weapon like TOR?
why would satoshi release bitcoin at 51% difficulty?
why would Putin allow for the grotesque corruption of the oligarch state?
because they have the other half.
could you please elaborate, or matter of fact, ELI5...
Isn't the whole purpose of having power and control, is to have it all, or make it appear that you're not in control?
