    Oh ffs. We have known for years that Proton is just a for profit company like any other. They dont give a fuck about you or your privacy. They never have and they never will.

      it’s always disappointing when people all about FOSS and shit suggest Proton to people looking to switch from google. no, don’t do that. use Tuta or self host or ANYTHING other than Proton. it’s such a shit company that does not deserve the praise they receive.

        1. Authoritarian regime decides that being critical of the regime is illegal and makes laws to support this.
        2. Activists use Proton for privacy.
        3. Regime demands that they give up data on activists.
        4. Proton complies with the laws.

        That’s the issue.

          What data? Here it is the IP address and only under order by authorities.

          I feel ever since the social media shitstorm people love to pile on Proton for anything. They never said they won’t comply with law enforcment, did they?

      For profit or FOSS, they can’t ignore the Swiss government. It’s fucking stupid that people put this ridiculous standard on them like they’re able to just tell the Swiss no and face no consequences.

      If you were in their position, you would roll over too, and if you claim otherwise you’re just straight up lying.
