Okay, whoever recommends Proton as a reliable source of online privacy should be immediately be seen as an op. That fucker caved under pressure by agencies.

Are there any providers that refuse to comply with law enforcement? The best seems to be the ones that only collect the bare minimum amount of data in the first place

Any that refuse to comply with legal requirements won't be around for long so it is hard to have a list of them or rely on them.

All companies have to comply with local laws. Even a huge company like Apple has to submit to laws of any country they operate in.

They purposely logged information in their mail servers which resulted in a protestor being arrested. You can easily design a service not to record such data (Ex: PIA).

You talking about the French protester from several years ago? Yeah, bud didn't even take the smallest step, like using a vpn, to protect himself. At the time, Proton said if a vpn was used they wouldn't have any data to give to the cops.

Same thing would have happened if the protester was using Tuta or any other email service.

Some organizations don't. Yes this issue is not proton, but the capitalism. Anyway proton is not safe
