Julian OliverOnce again Proton hand over data on an activist to authorities, this time to the FBI via the Swiss High Court.
Proton is unsafe for use by frontliners.

dont give Proton your personal details and they cant give it to anyone else when compelled by law.
stupidity is unsafe for frontliners.

@DonChacale When they sold out the French anti-gentrification and climate activist it was to trace the originating IP of emails sent and received. So an onion layer would also be required in that case that sends a fake user-agent string. The Tor browser, for instance.
Regardless, even with such provisions in place, I would not consider Proton safe
@JulianOliver
fair enough.
im not sure i would consider almost any email service safe if i was "front line"

Howard Chu @ Symas@DonChacale @JulianOliver any commercial entity selling their services has to abide by the laws of the country they reside in. But a company like Proton that advertises themselves as private & secure should have had a policy to not keep any personally identifiable info on its customers. That also precludes accepting credit cards for payment. And again, any frontliner stupid enough to use a credit card there was going to get tracked sooner or later. They should have used Monero.
@hyc @JulianOliver
they should have a " we will defy any countries legal orders to obtain your identity though you have given it freely, of your own accord to us, even though we have not asked you for it" policy?

@DonChacale @JulianOliver if they don't ask for it, there should be no way for you to give it to them, and no database to record such info.
