Thats pretty funny as I recently got a bunch of shit in some Tech lemmy or something for pointing out that ProtonMail recorded the IP of a French climate protestor after the French asked Europol to ask the Swiss government nicely, and then I pointed out that if they are even /capable/ of doing that then at best they are falsely marketing themselves as secure and private, and also poorly designed as a service.

The whole ostensible idea of doing a secure messaging service of any kind is more than encryption. It is making it so its just not actually possible for you to comply with a subpoena due to actually being clever in the way you design your software and how it uses what hardware.

But I just got dogpiled on because 'its the law moron they are a business they have to comply IDIOT'.

oh well. Techbros be techbros. I guess that means 'performative privacy advocacy' is a thing. Bleck.
