I mean, Proton was the necessary link. Not even like I fault them, people should realize email or any other 2-sided activity has 2 points of weakness.
Dunno, just hate the way we lie without even lying nowadays. Mot sorry that Rubes get rubed

The name/address of the terrorism suspect was actually given to police by Apple, not Proton. The terror suspect added their real-life Apple email as an optional recovery address in Proton Mail. Proton can’t decrypt data, but in terror cases Swiss courts can obtain recovery email.

There is no lying here. Adding real world identification that can be correlated to other accounts is the fault of the user. That’s being said, I’m glad Proton follows the letter of the law.

Thanks for posting this, it’s important people catch more than just the headline. This is clearly another example of proton delivering on their promise. Fucking headlines gonna headline.
