IE like Crypto AG:

In 2020, it was revealed that the Swiss company, Crypto AG, which provided secure communications services to ~120 governments throughout the 20th century, was secretly ran by the CIA and West German Intelligence. The CIA and later NSA were able to read encrypted communications for many countries such as Saudi Arabia, Iran, Italy, Indonesia, Iraq, Libya, Jordan and South Korea.

Tuta would make sense to me as a honeypot. Who called them out? Add it to the list of free providers I use that are just the CIA... In order to "anonymize" my social media profiles on their other sites lol

And again, I'm not saying that I believe this. I have no idea what to think. My original point was that it's all very confusing to beginners.
