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.
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.
