Its an explicitly worse alternative what are you on about. Its in a eyes country. Its literally an explicit step down on every level.

The moment tuta goes to shit there is nothing stepping them from going all the way. At least with proton the legal requirements of the country they are in means that no matter what stupid shit the dickhead at the top does. They are REQUIRED to adhere to a minimum standard.

Tuta has NO legal requirement to do that.

If you remotely care about privacy and enforcement of the standard of care around it. Tuta is like one of the stupidest places you can go.
