90% compliance people. You buy for the anonymity, but only if you're part of the fortunate 10%. These jokers complied to 90% of subpoena requests last year on the advertised "private" Proton Mail accounts. 9/10 people had their data handed over. That's garbage no matter how you look at it. There is a dearth of effort to resist against these subpoenas. What's the premium for?? 🙋 FWIW...I'm part of the problem here too, I fell for the hype with these guys at first. I fell for the advertisements "Stored on bare metal servers in a former military base, in a privacy oriented country"(https://lnkd.in/eqFcVTn5) only to comply with 90% of subpoenas..not 2703 D orders, not warrants...subpoenas..9/10. That's not data protection, that's data hemorrhage (https://lnkd.in/eKhEcMGS) 🤔🕴️How does data protection tie in to this dude pumping anonymity? Glad you asked. It ties in because of client side hashing, it ties in because governments can suppress speech with legal action that is pretextual in an attempt to harm you. It ties in because we pay premiums for this, only to have 9/10 of us burned on shaky subpoenas. It ties in because governments are just as corrupt as the people who run them, and in recent years these processes are weaponized. It ties in because your encryption, and VPNs are themselves under attack. Its at the center of every threat analysis. 🥸 Its all for the children though...someone subpoena this guys man-card, he'd surely comply. Tuta | Secure Email & Calendar, what's your compliance rate?
