    they’re not end-to-end encrypted; their security model involves giving their server both your GPG private key and its passphrase, which makes your inbox and other data trivially able to be subpoenaed by German authorities.

    I don’t think this is a replacement for Proton or Tutanota at all.

      It’s encrypted and based out of Germany (so, outside of five eyes).

      […] your inbox and other data trivially able to be subpoenaed by German authorities

      Germany is a member of the Fourteen Eyes alliance and shares data with 9 and 5 eyes members.

      I just wanted to put that out there after @[email protected] suggested that the five eyes are the only eyes. They share with Germany and vice versa.
