Blåhaj Lemmy - Choose Your Interface

I saw a post about this earlier, it is a nothingburger.

The user in question paid for his account with a personal credit card, he didn’t use an anonymous payment alternative which are available.

Proton has stated that they will comply with law enforcement requests, but are working to maintain as few logs as possible.

This is an opsec failure on the user’s side.

This is not Proton handing IDs of their customers to the government on a silver platter, this is their customer not understanding the service they use.

People shouldnt need to think about opsec to have private emails. False advertising on Protonmails part, and government policy issue in the countries in question.

It’s not false advertising. Just because a company advertises with privacy, it doesn’t mean they are bullet prove.

they don’t sell your data, they actually have very little data to share at all, but they do follow the swiss law.

They even publish which kind of requests they get: proton.me/legal/transparency
