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
Well, I must be a terrorist because I've been using Proton since it started, and it was by invitation only. 😅
@syscall If things continue in this stupid direction, the Trump administration will classify the use of GnuPG as a terrorist act. This sanction seems to clearly indicate that the NSA is struggling to crack the encryption used by this Italian organization (which I had never heard of before). My support for it stems from the sheer absurdity of these sanctions and the EFF's stance on the matter. If I understood Stefano's comment correctly, the organization has a reputation in Italy for supporting Italian organized crime. But, I repeat: theoretically, the Mafia has email options just as secure as this one, and they likely use all of them simultaneously.
