Ingogni is super suspicious and I don't believe what they claim to do is even possible. But to me it's what they claim to do that makes them suspicious, and that's and entirely different thing than what proton does, and at least proton has documented audits to back up their privacy claims. INB4 the links to articles talking about proton complying with law enforcement requests, every company does that, even respected ones like mullvad. It's not important that they hand over information they're legally required to, it's important that they save as little as possible so they can hand over everything without identifying you.
And also, any privacy conscious service is never better than your own opsec, so if you get caught because your recovery email was your apple ID, that's on you and not them.
Incogni feels like a product the data brokers created to double tap your data and get paid for doing it.
Guys...it's Incogni. Like incognito?
Hasnt Proton assisted law enforcement in freezing, locking out or providing access to some person?
I remember that happen.
They comply with the law to the extent that they absolutely have to.
I've heard of locking/freezing accounts, but the only case where a person got identified (that I've heard of) was because the user used their apple ID mail for recovery and got identified that way from the information handed over.
Nvmd.
What I had in memory was false.
The provided IPs but not decrypted mails or access to the inbox.
Besides that they also suspended inboxes.
