Yes, there is evidence. Did you read the linked post?
I wouldn’t have any problems with it if it were just free open source software. But they also offer paid services. Internationally they do that through their Latvian based subsidiary, obfuscating their origin. At home in Russia their suite is renamed R7-Office, which is a reference to the first ICBM with a nuclear warhead. The release imagery also depicts the release of a rocket that looks like the R-7.
Altogether pretty sus, if you ask me.
Cryptpad is French, but they are using OnlyOffice, which is Russian.
Any European alternatives?
I would say no. With the recent debacle the writing is on the wall. Mozilla is not taking our privacy seriously. So, I have switched away from vanilla Firefox.
I would recommend using a fork instead: LibreWolf, or Floorp, or Zen; and Ironfox on Android. Mullvad Browser is another option.
Oh, it’s perfectly clear. We got the message. Mozilla are not to be trusted with our data.
But downloading and illegally using that font is okay?
