    Seems like too little too late. There are other, more established privacy-oriented platforms in more privacy-respecting countries.

          Can you blame people? Any american company is vulnerable to pressure from the american government to do whatever immoral acts it wants.

          Pretty much. I don’t want to wake up to find out my email stopped working because a rapist wrote a new executive order after his Big Mac-fueled fever dream.

    Does it? That sounds rather fishy right after Mozilla got a new exec change that focuses on money over everything else

    will never use your email to train AI, flood your inbox with ads, or collect and sell your data

    Like Firefox, it’s good to know. /s

    which injects AI features into the service

    A contradiction in the same piece of news.

    Last but not least, I do hope they are not located in the USA because they would compete with all the other paid email services around the world.

      That’s not a contradiction. I’m not defending the latter bit, to be clear, and I do not use the service. Just pointing out that those things do not contradict each other.

        Data is sent to NVIDIA, you don’t and can’t know what is done about it. That’s the same for any AI usage that is not local, and most people don’t have the skills to do that.

    I’ve been looking to move away from proton mail after the whole thing with the CEO and this looks ideal

      Mailbox.org.

      It’s worth paying for a service rather than trust an org that’s been less than direct with us.

      (Mailbox has a free tier that’s limited).

      Tuta doesn’t support external email clients, but if you don’t mind using it through the web or their app they have a free tier you can sign up for to see if you like it.

      I just don’t have the energy to play email host hopscotch. Every capitalist CEO is going to stay something I don’t like with eventually.

      While completely disagreeing, I can tolerate Proton leadership having a preference towards the political party that imposes less red tape. But after the decade of the month it’s been the dude will probably reverse his opinion now that his money is in danger.

        I’ve heard it’s best to just buy a domain for your email for hopscotch reasons

          Yes but if one use hundreds of Proton or Fastmail-generated email masks it’s a big switching cost.
