Comment on Proton Mail Suspended Journalist Accounts at Request of Cybersecurity Agency
artyom@piefed.social 4 hours agoThere's no legal pressure here. Just a request. A request that it makes sense for them to respond to, for the sake of their own users.
What service do you think isn't subject to legal pressure?

Under USA law proton cannot reveal some requests, or even talk about deeper collaboration.
This is why some services use canaries. When something is removed from a page it can be assumed they ante under a gag order. This has happened many times ,see en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warrant_canary
By and large political opposition in an authoritarian country should not use tools under that jurisdiction.
I would definitely base my email outside of that influence.

What does US law have to do with anything? Proton is based out of Switzerland.

They now have offices in the USA and if you look at what they say, they announce their operating under Swiss and USA law.

Can you show me where they announce they're "operating" under US law and not just complying with US requests provided Swiss warrants?
