ProtonMail Complied with 5,957 Data Requests in 2022 - Still Secure and Private? - jlai.lu

Proton are very transparent about what data is and isn’t stored, how data is protected and what (very limited) data may be available in the event of a legal warrant - going through all the proper channels.

Complying with legal warrants doesnt make the service insecure or not private. It makes it a legal and legitimate company.

It shouldn’t really be a surprise to any of it’s users.

Some people have the idea that a private business is going to break the law or defy their governments requests for them. That’s completely deluded, nobody would ever open willingly expose themself to that kind of risk. No organization is going to let themselves go on trial for $15/month. It seems we have a binary idea of privacy, when the reality is much more complex.

It’s the “if you’re not with us, then you’re against us” mentality.

Huh, I guess these people haven’t been roaming the real world for a long time, they get their ideas from television shows and movies.
