Proton denied all 47 requests for user data this year, making it 458 rejected since 2019, not a single one fulfilled.

Now that is some gaslighting. Proton handed over environmental activists to a fascist state quite after 2019.

IIRC that was for Proton Mail not Proton VPN. Yes they're owned by the same company, but a VPN handing over your IP is arguably worse that an email provider.

https://proton.me/legal/transparency Scoll down and check Protonmail.... They did these from beginning Dude...

This is the new transparency report from after 2021... They lied back then, too... The same thing will happen with VPN now as well....

It's funny how people who engage in gaslighting here or just copy others get upvotes, while the others get downvotes... F... this community

It's exactly the same as when i pointed out problems with grapheneOS using facts and evidence... I'm so glad I deleted everything from that hypocritical community.
