      Email was really a very insecure protocol to begin with. There is an encrypton thing for It but It’s a pain in the ass to setup.

        The last thing I witnessed is them leaving Mastodon in shame after promoting the republican party.

        Before that a couple of incidents where they gave law enforcement information on activists.

        Idk if it’s actually a crypto ag situation.

        I guess none of this actually makes them a worse choice than Google.

            They have actually complied to over 10000 requests by authorities in 2024. I don’t get the impression they do all that much to fight those requests.
