 Hey @protonmail, we know you guys use affiliate marketing and that it can be hard to keep an eye on what each of the partners is doing, but are you aware of this article: https://cybernews.com/secure-email-providers/tutanota-vs-protonmail/ ? 1/5 𧡠13 comments
... that the storage for free accounts is equal in our offer and yours, and worst of all, that we donβt publish the source code for the Windows and macOS versions of the app and we're only "for the most part" open-source. 3/5 𧡠Can you make this right, please? Especially since on your /partners page, you have an FAQ section that says "As part of our effort to be transparent with our users, we require our partners to disclose their relationship to Proton to their readers." 4/5 𧡠Wow. For what it's worth, I would respond badly to an article so obviously biased and see it as damaging to Proton Mail rather than Tutanota. Marketers have a problem, they used up all the nasty tricks, showed their hand and no one falls for them any more. Cybernews just earned themselves a permanent place on my blacklist, so whomever their marketing people are, they are not exactly doing a good job, quite the opposite, this is self-sabotage. @Tutanota Hi! Our affiliate partners are fully responsible for the content they produce and the only input they get from us concerns our own services. Therefore, we encourage you to reach out to Cybernews and bring these inaccuracies to their attention. @protonmail Thanks for the response. But this article contradicts your requirement of partners "to disclose their relationship to Proton to their readers" and to be "objective" and "accurate", doesn't it? Quotes taken from your partners web page. @Tutanota @protonmail That "verdict" table at the end of the article is very misleading in my opinion. @Tutanota I have been writing articles about privacy-themed email providers; may I ask you some questions about Tutanota? |
