Episode notes
Public Feuds Harm Privacy Trust
- Competition between privacy email providers can become public and ugly when marketing claims are challenged.
- Public disputes erode trust and distract from technical merits of services.
Legal Orders ≠ Backdoors
- Both Proton and Tutanota have complied with lawful orders to log specific accounts in different cases.
- Complying with a court order to provide limited data is not the same as having a covert backdoor or being a honeypot.
Use Strong Terms Carefully
- Stop labeling services as 'spyware' or 'honeypot' without context because it dilutes real threats.
- Reserve those terms for confirmed, severe compromises to keep community discourse accurate.
