@CaptObvious@Mikufan if the user practiced proper opsec it wouldn’t be an issue. Proton provides privacy not anonymity. Those are 2 different things. The second requires opsec in the users end.
@CaptObvious Proton never claims to provide anonymity though. They even state that it depends on proper opsec. It was the user fault for proving an email as a recovery that led to a more “willing” company that gave his data to police. If they had never done that, it would be a different situation.
I question if you’ve read the story. Its a very clear case that is painted in the story.
Indeed it is. The police asked and Proton provided. Very clear indeed.
At last, something we can agree on.
Like… They are required to do by law because its a terrorism case.
Questionable and not the point.
The pointis that the person is an idiot and Proton had to comply with a request about a terrorist.
The point is that Proton, a company that sells privacy, violated that trust, apparently without much of a fight.
The Spanish police didn’t even allege that the person is a terrorist.
I think we’re done here. We’re not even speaking the same language.
Have a nice life.

Agreed
Anonymity most certainly is a part of privacy.
