New from 404 Media: Proton Mail, the privacy-focused email service, gave authorities data that let the FBI unmask an anonymous 'Stop Cop City' protester. It was payment data linked to the anonymous email account. From that, FBI ID'd them, then tracked their movements https://www.404media.co/proton-mail-helped-fbi-unmask-anonymous-stop-cop-city-protestor/

@josephcox this is bad journalism, an I expect better from 404. A Swiss company has to comply with requests from Swiss law enforcement. That this request was caused by an US MLAT request is irrelevant.

So now I'm disappointed by 404, not Proton.

@sergedroz @josephcox > I expect better from 404.

This is exactly what I've come to expect from that lot. I don't understand why people keep fawning over them.
