An Italian secure email system was labeled as terrorist and sanctioned by the US.
What should I think about other secure email systems (Proton, Tuta, etc.) that were not labeled as terrorist or sanctioned by the US?

@xenotar I was surprised, to be honest. I thought they were going to label it as "mafiosi".

@stefano There is (theoretically) no way to know who uses Proton or Tuta for legitimate purposes, for crime, or for "terrorism." I imagine "terrorists" will migrate to other systems—if they haven't already been there for years. How did the NSA single out one system from the others? Does it have access to Proton and Tuta but not the other one?
I’m really skeptical about the ones that weren't singled out.

@francois @stefano May be, may be not. The Trump administration has not demonstrated this level of competence so far; on the contrary, it knows only how to use absolute brute force, whether in the form of war or through tariffs and sanctions.

Fair enough.
That said it's not because bullying has been the name of the game so far that they can't
Forget it.
You're right. Leopards don't lose their spots
