Comment on ProtonMail Logged IP Address of French Activist; Should You Be Worried About Your Privacy?
jaybone@lemmy.zip 4 weeks agoThat’s some funny language around “May be obtained permanently” though. Is this minority report? Do they know ahead of time that someone is going to violate their TOS?
That said, I’m not totally against proton mail. It’s a lot better than other free alternatives. Of which there are few left. I’m sure Gmail tracks the IP of your rectum.
I would rather they have funny language in their privacy policy opposed to mandatory logging, they have to cover themselves legally as well so they got to utilize legal-ise so they aren’t sued into the dirt.

I bet Google predicted you would say that!

This seems necessary if they’re to maintain an IP ban list. You shouldn’t just be able to unban yourself by submitting an information deletion request.

This is stupid though. IP addresses in many homes rotate, so IP ban lists are utterly ineffective and could very well ban the wrong people.
