  • It’s actually a good question and you’re getting a lot of shit for it from people who seem to not even know where this accusation comes from.

    “So, I was briefed on a storefront that was being created or had been created in order to attract targets – criminal targets to this online encrypted service that was being created, in order for them to – the criminals or the targets to use this service in order for intelligence to be collected by the agency that created the storefront. … It’s an online end-to-end encryption service called Tutanota.”

    It can be a lie, a mistake, or truth. It can even be a false flag accusation to destroy their reputation. We don’t really know.

    When looking into this it’s good to also know about Tor Mail: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tor_Mail
    There might have been some confusion between Tutanota and Tor Mail.

    I don’t think anybody here will be able to actually answer it.

















  • I think Google doesn’t care about that at all.

    They most likely pay peanuts compared to you for “bandwidth” (which for them is more of an electricity cost and trough-output allocation than a specific numeric value like consumers and smaller companies have). You also cache the video on your own device making the multiple tab thing useless if you don’t know what you’re doing. And Google can also just block you when they attack their servers, move traffic around, and so much more advanced stuff that protects their infrastructure.

    tl;dr: Trying to boycott Google by trying to waste their resources is useless.
