      Hmm, so they’ve been banned for over a year. I wonder why they’d start actually doing a door-to-door crackdown now.

      Also, Tuta is relatively trustworthy. It’s more that since they offer encrypted email services, they often get blocked under these kind of orders as well, so they are pretty active in arguing against such blocks. Tuta has been blocked in Egypt and Russia, for example. Despite that being true, in many ways, it’s an ad for their service, and a type of public relations that involves them “showing” that they “care” about this issue, so they seem like a “responsible” corporate entity.
