@smolbrain @adrienne we haven't had any issues mailing cash for these sorts of service for what it's worth.

A lot of people talking about dumping Proton right now are misunderstanding what actually happened.
Feds were able to coerce the Swiss government to coerce Proton to hand over whatever data they had on an anonymous Stop Cop City email address, that was being investigated for terrorism.
That metadata included credit card details information for the account, which is very difficult to anonymize.
Proton offers cash payments to work around this obvious security flaw.
If you must pay for a Proton account for a radical project, pay with cash (you can mail it) or washed crypto (Monero -> Bitcoin).
All credit card payments are traceable, even to a privacy-focused company.
Your security model should not rely on a business to fight the state on your behalf.
Your email or VPN provider is not going to risk prison time for your $5/mo. It's just not going to happen, at least for anything commercial. Tuta and every other email privacy-focused email company will comply with court orders.
Trying to find the perfect email provider is a fool's errand. It doesn't exist.
You can however anonymize your useage of privacy friendly services like Proton, Tuta, or Mailbox by not entering your credit card number, phone number, name, personal email, or IP to that account.

@werawelt @smolbrain @mailbox_org @adrienne Mailbox has the same vulnerability. It's a legal, above board operation and will also respond to court orders to hand over metadata they have for the account.
The solution is not to trust any of these companies if you need anonymity. Pay them with cash instead of a credit card, don't setup a recovery phone number, and always use a good vpn or Tor to connect. They can't hand over what they don't have.

@smolbrain @adrienne don't give proton your credit card number. That's how the subject was identified and why proton offers cash and crypto payment options.

@angelastella @nitinkhanna @adrienne You should compartmentalize your emails. Make a personal email and a separate one for radical projects. If you're using the email to access state services, Proton or Tuta giving your credit card data over due to an order from an overseas government is going to be the least of your worries.
The 404 article is about a proton email setup for an anonymous radical project that was investigated for terrorism. The alleged admin of this project made the mistake of paying for the email account with a payment method associated with their personal identity, which is how they were identified from the Proton account.

@nitinkhanna @adrienne There is no email provider that will anonymize your credit card payments to them.
Credit card data is extremely traceable. Don't give it to any company if you don't want it handed over to cops. This is why Proton and other privacy-focused businesses accept cash and crypto as payment methods.

@sharan @angelastella @nitinkhanna @adrienne @Tutanota Of course they do. Tuta would be shut down if they did not respond to orders from German courts. They're a business, not a radical project.

@angelastella @nitinkhanna @adrienne Tuta complies with orders from law enforcement too.
Don't trust any email provider with your credit card information, IP address, or phone number. Don't expect Tuta to fight government orders on your behalf. All of these companies will comply rather than go out of existence, so you need to make sure they don't have your PII to begin with.
