They tried, but failed.... to stay in business perhaps.
“Proton received a legally binding order from Swiss authorities which we are obligated to comply with. There was no possibility to appeal this particular request,” Yen wrote in the post. “The prosecution in this particular case was very aggressive. Unfortunately, this is a pattern we have increasingly seen in recent years around the world.”
Crucially, the order did not provide the contents of the activist’s email, which are encrypted and cannot be accessed by Proton. Yen said a similar order would also not be able to provide ProtonVPN metadata, as VPNs are subject to different requirements under Swiss law.
Still, the arrest is alarming for many users of ProtonMail, who had expected the service to have more robust protections against legal identification. Yen pledged to update the service’s public documentation to “better clarify ProtonMail’s obligations in cases of criminal prosecution.”
I have a yearly subscription, but once that’s finished. I’m moving to Mullvad.
Your data is still encrypted. If you occupy Paris square you maybe doxxed ( not a lawyer, so Lolll)
The marketing on the website lol
We created Proton VPN to protect the journalists and activists who use Proton Mail. Proton VPN breaks down the barriers of Internet censorship, allowing you to access any website or content.
I think authorities were just tightening their grips in recent years in various jurisdictions and world changes I guess. We evolve, we're good 🫂 ☀️
🫂🫂💜 in the EU, there are several laws that are suggested to monitor all the electronic communications in the future. I hope they won’t be voted.
Me too, used to live in Poland, have family there, they as you know are in EU too. I'm pissed at this Brussels bullshit 😅
well let’s hope for the best 🤞🏼
I'm waiting for each EU nation to do massive protests and put manure on parliments, and I hope US does the same cuz we beyond the boiling point when I think about everything they try to pull on us. Freeeeedommmmmmmmmmm

ProtonVPN would've helped. From article:
"ProtonMail also operates a VPN service called ProtonVPN and points out that Swiss law prohibits the country's courts from compelling a VPN service to log IP addresses. In theory, if Youth for Climate had used ProtonVPN to access ProtonMail, the Swiss court could not have forced the service to expose its "real" IP address. However, the company seems to be leaning more heavily toward recommending Tor for this particular purpose."
