Comment on ProtonMail Logged IP Address of French Activist; Should You Be Worried About Your Privacy?

  I don’t know about ‘should’ but wasn’t that the impression their marketing tried to give? Or at least that they would fight to defend user privacy for noble activists? But when challenged, its owners seem to have folded quicker than a strapotin.

    No. Nothing in their marketing says they’ll refuse to comply with lawful orders.

      Maybe not now, but it used to say ‘your privacy comes first’ which certainly gave the impression privacy would be more important than blindly believing and obeying courts.

      Thanks for the link to their report.

        Privacy is not binary. It lives on a Spectrum. On one end you have Proton. And on the other, Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, etc.

    No. The impression their marketing gave was that they followed Swiss law.
