With no guarantee of compliance, nor guarantee of a backdoor not being added to this service - it’s hard to put Tuta ahead of any other supposed privacy-first provider. They didn’t pull a TPB and tell the court to get fucked, and exit the country. So it’s hard to assume they’ll ever not comply with a backdoor order.

So instead I’ll opt for the one least likely to go under, with the most features. And it’s not Tuta.

You know that courts exist for a reason, right? I know for a fact that the most infamous ransomware organization at the moment, the one actively targeting hospitals with double extortion and then dumping terabytes of patient data including social security numbers, medical records etc. publicly, used Tutanota at one point to communicate with victims.

This isn't an out of sight out of mind situation, if you ask for bulletproof hosting you will face consequences on way or another and you can't just ignore that in a calculation. Same as you don't ignore the consequences of abuse of political power clearly.

And which one is it?
