Yes, but we nonetheless do have privacy services in Canada, like 1password and Hushmail. Having weaker privacy laws will make these companies even less competitive.

Yet it is a German company that is raising attention on bill c-2 instead of Canadian companies.

It adds to Tuta’s trust and reputation when they are speaking out against bill C-2.

However, this made me realize something though. Why haven’t I heard much from Canadian based “privacy” services?

I think they phrased it poorly by saying using other privacy tool makes leta “useless”. Because you’re correct, using a VPN or other privacy tool doesn’t change how it works. Just that the privacy benefit VPNs provide is also offered by Leta, hence making this specific benefit redundant.

Also, there is nothing wrong with redundancy, it can be a legitimate strategy too.

??? It’s “useless” if you use other privacy-focused tools in your browser or internet connection?

The phrasing is weird. I guess the more privacy-focused tools you have, the more features in Leta becomes redundant.

For most people Leta can be useful, as the above conditions cannot ever truly be met by systems that are available today.

But I guess this line implies using Leta will guarantee completeness? I guess this implies it is difficult to completely block all possible tracking technologies on our own with the tools and systems we have available to us.

Pretty sure Spotify was excluded for a reason
