Bad opsec. Of course Proton will comply with court orders. It’s your responsibility to not leave data they can hand over.

they shouldn’t pretend to protect your privacy if they can’t

one time they did this and only then after changed their website where it said they wouldn’t log your info

Payments are very different. Any company is required to keep track of their finances, the tax authorities don’t fuck around. If you electronically pay for something and expect anonymity, you are not very, um, educated. If you feel like you need their paid plans, pay cash and only ever access it through TOR running Tails. I feel like that’s a reasonable level of opsec for most activists.

this is victim blaming

not every activist is a tax attorney, their misleading advertising and the faulty standing in the community is the reason this awesome anti cop city activitist got repressions

Marketing claims don’t absolve you from doing your due diligence.
