So if you're using Proton thinking it's "privacy-focused", it turns out they're giving data to the Feebs now. https://www.404media.co/proton-mail-helped-fbi-unmask-anonymous-stop-cop-city-protestor/

@adrienne The thing about every single company is that if the feds compel the company to give them data, and the company has that data, they will absolutely hand that data over. It's not a choice they're making.

This is why Proton includes payment options such as Bitcoin and mailing them cash. Then, they don't have the data, so they have nothing to hand the feds.

@Azuaron Well, they do have to disclose what they know. But it might only be, "We got an envelope from Tibet filled with Algerian 50-dinar coins."
