@404mediaco Newsflash: company complies with legal obligation.

This is unworthy of you, 404. There's a real story here about how Proton marketing plays fast and loose with the level of protection they offer. For you to imply that they eagerly 'helped' the FBI by doing what is legally required of them is just as misleading.

@willegible @404mediaco Another worthwile story could’ve been to critically examine how true the ”Swiss privacy laws” marketing really is when Switzerland cooperates with foreign governments in this way.

But 404 has made it clear they think Proton complying with a mandatory legal demand from the Swiss government is equivalent to them willingly collaborating with the FBI, so that’s the angle we’re getting apparently. Really don’t understand this logic.
