Hiding from the rule of law is not the goal of @protonprivacy. Proton can't possibly see or share your messages. Period. If the rule of law in your country has been perverted, then you should use tools to hide your identity - instead of only hiding your messages.

@mycroftsan Proton followed the law they HAVE to. The user provided traceable information they didn't have to.

There is literally no platform on this planet that is not bound by law. None. It's not only ignorant, but just plain childish to think otherwise.
