    Regarding email which provider would be best suited if this goes true? Because Tuta is hosted in Germany it seems less optimal then say Proton?

      If I cared about the contents of email staying safe, would rather not depend on a provider and just use provider-independent PGP. If safety is more important than universality - then I’d use something outside of email in general, like XMPP+OMEMO or maybe Simplex.

      Before privacy guides changed there was a spreadsheet with all providers, security details and wether or not they have ever complied to government requesting access.

      If i recall correctly proton did not score very great. Disroot did very well on paper but was considered new and had yet to proof itself

      Anyone know if this (updated) information still exists?

        Proton pretty much always complies with government access requests, and they never claimed otherwise. They, however, don’t have access to the content of your emails due to their encryption, meaning the data they give to governments is restricted to what you give them. They can at most give out your name, payment information, and backup mail if you voluntarily gave that info to them.

      It doesn’t make a big difference. You are going to send emails to Gmail most of the time anyway.
