I really wanna support these folks but I'm also curious about the recent headlines with Cameron Ortis (Canada's own selfish version of Snowden who deserves a damn Peace Prize for reals) referencing these.

Also, I think people need to learn there is nothing "private" about email beyond not scanning which is like paying for a not-service (like don't fuck me over). Hell, its hard enough to work up the courage and stamina to vanishing-messages-set someone adversarial who desperately needs you to make and ebforce that decision upon them as a baseline for engaging with them at all.

I will pay $1/month for email company to not be an asshole but that's the extent of my patience with the notion and I have zero illusions about what is likely still happening on some level.

Edit: Snowden deserves reward, not Ortis.

Edit: whats the timeline/continuity in terms of Ortis' mention and Tutanota rebranding to Tuta

I wasn't familiar with the headlines you're referring to so took a look, here is one story from the CBC. And here is Tuta's post responding to the allegation.

Besides knowing the name I was not super familiar with Tuta, but it appears their source code is publicly available for review for any backdoor (and that Cameron Ortis doesn't seem trustworthy or even especially knowledgeable).

That's my instinct, but its good free publicity I think. The worst thing is not being talked about, maybe there's some truth to that
