This makes me ๐Ÿ˜ญ

UPDATE: Thanks @nekusoul@lemmy.nekusoul.de for this update: The issue has now been commented on and was closed by the maintainer, where they explained why those blocks would be nonsense. But it appears the OP wants to still talk with maintainer privately about it.

    important to emphasize here that email is inherently not very private. Proton is one of the best email providers for privacy, but for things you really need to be private (eg organizing protests in less-than-friendly countries) you shouldn't use email at all.

    Does proton do anything other than encrypting the email file? TLS should be enough to encrypt the transfer.

    If you look at what data they handed over you'll realize this is a positive thing. You have verifiable proof that the contents of your mails is private, and you're calling it a negative thing that they have your IP address??

    Do you have articles showing Tutanota refusing to do the same?

    I am not here to entertain Whataboutery. I am not a shill for Tuta Mail and will abandon it as well if it does the same thing. I don't rely on e-mail for communications. I only suggested Tuta Mail in the other thread because it is the least worst of them all.
