Comment on Proton Mail Suspended Journalist Accounts at Request of Cybersecurity Agency
bigchunga@feddit.online 1 week agoIn the past Proton stated that they only act on claims from legitimate law enforcement with a court order. Now they acted on some organizations request.
If Protons own mechanisms for detecting malicious use trigger, yeah, they should suspend the account and investigate further, but not from a third party that has zero authority.

They weren't acting based on law, they were acting out interest for themselves and their users. Letting people use Proton accounts for nefarious interests doesn't benefit anyone.
