ProtonMail provides information used to identify email owner... - Lemmy.wtf

Awesome…

I just switched from proton to mailbox. Mailbox gives you a say so over what happens when law enforcement asks for your account info.

Mailbox.org doesn’t have the option for anonymous payments beyond payments in cash, which was the reason for the article in the first place.
It does t matter if you have the ability to simply delete all of your account info.

You do realize that you don’t get time, generally speaking, to delete things, when a government legally demands your info, right?

As soon as any company sees a lawful order demanding information, deleting it becomes a crime.

If this same thing happened to mailbox.org, you heard about it immediately, and hit all the delete buttons you can find, mailbox.org will still hand over your info to them, as they’re legally obligated to do so. It’s not a gdpr violation or anything like that.

You’re not understanding. It’s a preemptive option.
You’re not understanding. They can order whenever.
And the Germans don’t give a fuck.
Their transparency report says otherwise…
Ok, whatevs keep shilling for proton.

the germans share intelligence with US agencies. you’re more likely to have your data given to the US government if your email provider is in germany than you are if they are most other places in europe.

they also keep trying to pass laws to force all tech companies to backdoor encryption in germany. when that happens, your data would be safer literally anywhere else, including currently the US.
