Highly recommend Tuta instead of proton.
Proton has removed themselves from Mastodon after one of their heads sucked off trump and the Republican Party.
Oh yeah, fuck whoever affiliates/promotes his agenda. Long live Tuta.
That shitshow is EXACTLY why I went with Tuta instead of Proton
That's a massive oversimplification of a statement and missing a lot of context. The statement itself was is in reference to the pick in relation to antitrust lawsuits against large tech.
There's a lot of questionable things around proton, but this isn't one of them.
This explains it in more details:

Andy made that comment praising republicans as βthe ones standing up for the little guyβ all while Trump's Attorney General William Barr tried to force backdoors in encryption!
It is absolutely a red flag for proton and the way they operate. They should have fire Andy and made a public statement instead of doubling down, leaving mastodon and pushing Reddit as their official platform.
Not going to argue as its apparent you're doubling down without actually adding anything that my previously referenced writeup already covers.
Its delusional or a lack of critical thinking to formulate an entire opinion on an entire organization, based on a single tweet, of a single person, taken out of context, when almost everything else about the organization points towards a neutral, if not, left leaning stance beyond this single tweet.
Ah, really!? And I've only just made the switch from Gmail π
Tuta looks fantastic! Their 500gb option is also quite reasonably priced at the moment. Thank you very much for sharing this!
I was part way through switching from Gmail to Protonmail when their CEO started brown nosing Trump. I'm tossing up between Tuta and Kmail.
