Comment on Tutanota vs Proton Mail
DahGangalang@infosec.pub 1 year ago
Don’t have any real evidence to substantiate this, but I’ve heard there’s some indicators that Proton is a honey pot for the feds. You can find the occasional youtuber talking about it.
That said, I use Proton Mail to escape the corporate data collection apparatus and really like it. No experience with Tutanota to give a proper comparison.

In interest of a complete record, the video I found most compelling on the issue:
I’d love for you to disprove this guy’s claims. I mean this in good faith and will be checking back in the next couple hours.

Bulls*t. What the random YouTubers claim without evidence is also nonsense. It’s remarkable to allege that an open source and audited app is a honeypot. Well, find it guys, it’s open source.

I didn’t watch the video, because I don’t have 15 minutes to listen to what sounds like a conspiracy theory, but the source link for his info he put in description is dead, so that doesn’t inspire confidence…
Anyway, how would a Swiss company be a honey pot for the feds?

With respect, allegations without proof are conspiracy porn. There's no reliable indication that Proton is anything but what it claims to be.

It's not on us to disprove, it's on him to prove.
DahGangalang@infosec.pub 1 year ago
That’s fair.
I do think this video lays out a clear case that Proton is not as open and anonymity focused as it could be. While going from those facts to a postulation that it’s a fed honey pot is probably a stretch, to use this as grounds to say “Proton isn’t as trustworthy as they claim to be” seems reasonable.
Thoughts on that line of thinking?

If this is your standard of evidence for information about the world, you need to go back to whatever pathetic school system failed so profoundly to provide you with the basic building blocks of rational thought and ask for your money back. People like you make the world a worse place.

Then why post it and spread FUD?
Seriously shit like this is ridiculous and should get you banned. I can make shit up with no evidence as well, but it does no one any good.
