- roenxi 5y agoIf choosing between a German backdoor vs a likely US backdoor, the Germans are probably a better choice for non-Europeans worried about security.
- TimTheTinker 5y agoAre you saying ProtonMail has a US back door?
- roenxi 5y agoProtonMail is nominally based in Switzerland, so I would assume that any backdoor in their software is controlled by the Swiss. Although I see their CTO is based in the US so it is certainly possible.
- BelenusMordred 5y agoProbably a poignant time to point out that CryptoAG was based in Switzerland for half a century and highly trusted around the world yet controlled by the CIA the whole time. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crypto_AG https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crypto_AG

- belter 5y agoThanks for the link. I am actually not happy they did not mention this court case in the page I posted above. But the thread you linked also does not clarify the details. Their clients are open source so you should be able to build them yourself. https://github.com/tutao/tutanota/blob/master/doc/BUILDING.md https://github.com/tutao/tutanota/blob/master/doc/BUILDING.m... How would that court requirement work ?
