⚡️🚨 NEW - Proton is cancelling journalists by blocking their mail accounts. This has huge consequences for their reputation and for all the people who thought they were safe by avoiding big tech. image

proton can’t read or sell your emails since they’re encrypted, but if a swiss court orders it they’ll comply. they might shut down an account or hand over metadata, but not the emails themselves. and no, they’re not going to court to fight for you over a $10/month subscription.

Wtf? I mean, hosting encrypted email is probably difficult. I hope someone proofs me wrong.

Proyon knew who they were because they probably didn't pay with bitcoin, but with credit card. Doesn't justify it though.
