I don’t have any email providers in there, seems kinda risky because nearly every one after a few years seems to get compromised. Email wasn’t really designed with encryption in mind like all of these new comms platforms like matrix.
Tutanota is very trustworthy in my opinion. Many people in the dark web use it as their to-go email service there (I learned this while searching for places to buy THC online).
you know, after reading several posts on c/privacy I have such an impression that one can trust nothing: either closed-source servers or OTF funding or wrong location :)
one of currently popular/active posts regarding funding of privacy oriented tools staggered me. I have never heard of OTF and BBG before and was really surprised that briar got funding 3! times from them. What do you personally think, is this fact corrupts briar itself?
Never trust - verify. And services that depend on proprietary server-side solutions are not verifiable. You can’t verify that they run the code on their servers - not even if the code is openly available. That’s why people self-host.
why there is no tutanota in your list? Do you know something compromising it? upd: tutanota is among recommended by https://www.privacytools.io/providers/email/

What about Posteo?

I don’t know about Riseup. After what happened in 2016 (click), I’ve been kind of wary of them.
