~~helped FBI~~ adhered to Swiss legal requirements
Are you guys expecting companies to break the laws of their own countries on your behalf?
Cancelled this shit over a year ago at this point. Very glad I left. Fuck Proton.
Oh, proton caved to government warrant? ./mild shock
Idiots expect them to pay salaries while ignoring government suppeona 🤦♂️. I was screeched at on a banned account.
I mean, what's the alternative here? The Swiss government, which they are subject to, issued a legal warrant. Any email provider you want to use will be subject to warrants. All of them.
They are technically incapable by design of complying with warrants for email data. In this case they were able to provide personally identifying payment data because the person paid for their account with... a credit card. They offer crypto payment options, and would not have been able to usefully comply had the person used that method.
Not surprising given Proton Mail is owned by a far right Trump supporter.
Stop spreading lies and misinformation. We get enough of that shit from the fascists.
Andy Yen supports Trump.
It is truth.
Boooooooo
