not directly related but on top of this, wasnt it the massive campaining and political pressure from us and eu that forced swiss banks to lift the swiss bank secrecy? maybe people start to understand this law exist(ed) for other reasons than tax evasion.
Comment on Privacy-Focused Proton Mail Aids FBI in Uncovering ‘Stop Cop City’ Protester’s True Identity
SnoringEarthworm@sh.itjust.works 1 day agoThe point is that the headline is true. Proton helped the FBI uncover that person’s identity, by revealing their banking information.
Yes, it was legal for the Swiss government to request that information and for Proton to release it when asked.
Those facts aren’t mutually exclusive.
I don’t understand why you’re responding so aggressively.

Thanks for explaining. I’m not “people”.
I had a similar feeling about people leaving Discord for <other service that will do the exact same thing>.

Nah, discord has access to unencrypted chat logs and will happily give that up. Way way more of an impetus to leave.
