        You´re technically a criminal in their eyes, and hence if they decide to boost their dictatorship into looking for the people don´t like, they will have legal basis to order for the server databases and fuck you up…

        Just look at feddit

        In Germany, antisemitism is specifically sanctioned in German criminal law, both for speech and as a motivation for other criminal behavior. In addition, Germany seeks to protect the Jewish state of Israel (the so-called “Reason of State” introduced in 2008) and thus verges toward protecting Zionism as well. Certain criticism of Israel/Israelis is also categorized as “Israel-related antisemitism”. Since criminal law is involved, enforcement can mean things like police raids and device confiscations. After such police action, it does not really matter if it was appropriate or if cases are dropped or never charged: The damage is done.

          I’m sure they do. Do you self-host your email? I’m not smart or patient enough to do that, so I have to trust someone, unfortunately.

            If you self-host it, you´re actually more open to lesser vector of attack, since I really doubt you will go into building robust security solutions with your personal IP. That includes local law enforcement or criminal elements just taking your server.

            Even if you do self host who are you sending email to? It’s most likely going to one of the big tech companies.

            I don’t, that’s why I want to use a service not in fascist-adjacent countries.

        The US and EU are tight-knit allies in empire. The US Empire has hegemony, sure, but the EU is still a willing participant in imperialism. They are all millitary allies through NATO, they share data. If you live in the west, the west having data on you is what can harm you.

      There are no asia-based email services of comparison to the european private ones unfortunately. Fast mail but that’s 5-eyes.

    All kerfuffle about Germany aside, I’m at least interested to see where they go with this since I feel like Proton is kind of resting on its laurels as well as continuing to treat Linux users as second class citizens (I also had longstanding issues with Tuta, too long to go into here, but which would probably not effect most of its users).

    Is one of those features not taking 2-3 minutes to start and removing the need for it to sync the entire email account over 5 - 10 minutes after loading? I like the program, but it’s clunky and slow. Couldn’t see paying for “pro” if that’s the finished product.
