True, works fine.
Then they said they didn’t log IP’s then handed over one of their users IP’s that got an activist locked up.

He praised Trump publically, not a great look, but whatever, then tried to say he was not being political, while being even more political. His PR department swooped in to Reddit and started posting straw man attacks. I don’t trust their CEO at this point. If it were any other just email company, I’d be down with it, but their whole schtick is security and privacy, and apparently, they’re led by an idiot.
If I’m taking my shit out of google, I’m not taking to some place that’s positioned to be more of the same if I can help it, and they really appear to be more of the same.
That CEO is the same guy that’s going to decide when and when not to sell your data. That is the CEO who’s boot licking and courting governments for favors and won’t think twice about selling you down the river.
Based on his Twitter affirmations, If Trump said hey I want you to give me the data on this guy disable is encryption without him knowing it and give it to me he wouldn’t even bat an eye.
That’s not who I want protecting my data
