On Tuesday, the Karnataka High Court directed the Indian government to block Proton Mail, a popular email service known for its enhanced security, following a legal complaint filed by New Delhi-based M Moser Design Associates. The local firm alleged that its employees had received emails containing obscene and vulgar content sent via Proton Mail.

After sending a message to abuse@proton.me, and/or filling in the proton abuse form, M Moser could have easily blocked proton.me on their own servers so they would not accept any messages anymore. Instead, they choose the hard way and managed to block proton also for all law-abiding Indian citizens with legitimate proton subscriptions. And it will not solve anything, the spammers will simply move on to other providers (see https://rigorousthemes.com/blog/best-protonmail-alternatives/)
