Proton doxxed @defendATLforest directly to the Swiss authorities which then handed the information directly to the FBI. The police have KILLED people defending the forest there. Tortuguita died for this movement https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Tortuguita

Hey @thefinalstrawradio, yall should probably cover this Proton situation...

@liaizon proton appears less a honeypot than a business that operates in legal jurisdictions under a TOS, required to give info they have to governments during investigations.
Movements and individuals shouldn't consider info they give up safe to such a project (payment info, legal IDs, contact info).
Such concerns require services where anonymous payment is possible or no payment is required
This thread gives some smart challenges to the question of security v useability

@thefinalstrawradio I think you miss what I mean by honey pot. They are advertising themselves as a secure safe place for journalists and activists. If that was actually the case they should not be collecting credit card information that they can be forced to hand over in the first place. I agree in an ideal world that people should know better then to give credit card information linking themselves to such a thing, but that is simply not the world we live in.
