    Proton is 100% respectful of user’s privacy. So is Tutanota and all others service providers that advertise about privacy as a main objective. Nevertheless : at the end of the day they do need to comply with law enforcement. Don’t be fooled by a false sense of privacy if you are crossing the line, for everything else you’re perfectly fine with proton, tutanota and alike.

      Signal also hands over user data if they get a warrent by the goverment, its just that Signal only collects data when the account was created and last active iirc (useless data). Im not saying Proton is perfect but similar with Proton, they can only hand over data they activly collect, so things like payment methods, recovery email, phonenumber… etc. The case with this climate activist, was they had a recovery email given to proton and thats the data that unmasked them. And as someone said, if they wouldnt comply they would just get raided.

      Thank you. I suppose you’re right. My imagination tends to spiral. How much longer until thinking the wrong thoughts becomes a matter of law enforcement.
