  Proton has a history of breaking its promise to users. Does Tuta?

  This marks Proton’s third known disclosure to authorities. They previously handed over a recovery email for a Catalan Democratic Tsunami activist and were forced to log a French climate activist’s IP address via Europol — despite claiming they don’t log IPs by default.

  Each case followed the same script: foreign law enforcement pressure, Swiss legal compliance, user anonymity compromised. Like watching the same Netflix thriller where the plot twist stops being surprising.

    The frustrating part is all the simps telling you that E2EE makes it safe, nah the same way they can log the IP of a user when asked, they can use the JavaScript they send you when you open protonmail to upload whatever emails they want access to, or your to key.

    If you want E2EE use GPG, otherwise you’re just pretending.
