That casts no doubt at all, and is exactly the same for any company around the world including Apple and others. If a legally binding court order is served on any company, they have to provide what they can provide.

The question is what they have, to provide e.g. in this case it was IP addresses, not the content of the mail. What most companies are trying to do, is to reduce what information they actually have.

What is way worse than this is legally binding acts like the US CLOUD Act where that extends into other countries, where it is done secretly, and especially where it is done without any due legal process (forget which company was still recently handing over private data at the mere request of police).

Still worse are companies like Facebook (from Cambridge Analytica) that are freely, or at profit, passing on user data, or having in their T&C for WhatsApp to freely pass all metadata upstream and out to advertisers.

ProtonMail could maybe do better to not log IP addresses (again it may depend on what their country's laws state) but they still sit at the top of the list of privacy respecting e-mail services.

Have a great sunday.

I have to admit a big part of tech support’s job is just getting people to reboot their devices 😂 I did already try that haha I’ll thump around until I get it figured out

😊 what’s even more funny is I used to work in tech support for an app myself 😅 surely I can figure this out. I’m going to try logging onto a desktop client tomorrow and see if that magically helps me.

Should I get the Alby extension and see if it helps at all? 😅 I’m not sure why it would but then again, you never can tell with software.

I tried with Damus and it’s the same :(

So for some reason I haven’t been able to follow anyone? I press the button and it seems to change state (to say “unfollow”) but then when I go back to my profile it still says following zero.. hmm. I just got my NIP-05 so maybe that will help… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

oh this gets you an instant follow PLUS a zap of significant amount...

I will think how significant it is after I finish reading!!

hypothesis:

the current republican party in the u.s. is not a political party, it is a stepping stone to corporate careers in arms manufacturing, lobbying, and insider trading firms.

like working in the mail room for a few years before you move upstairs.

Have you noticed how minor flaws are beginning to add value by denoting authenticity?

Broccoli I'm fine with. Durian and Jackfruit though...!

War is the continuation of politics by other means. Some general with an impossibly hard to spell name said that hundreds of years ago. It seems to agree in part with what you said.

I'm on nostr taking a break from my uni readings on how expensive war is and the various ways states fund it. Pressuring their tax cattle is only one way. I don't doubt that if a state had bitcoin it could use it to fund wars. It would probably sell it to the plebs in the country it wants to invade so their tax cattle fund the war on themselves. 🤔

But why? As far as I know there is no evidence of that? I use my own PGP key in Proton anyway.

Well I see how people talk about something and they understand each other and I don’t get it so I look like this 😂

I'm as bribable as a First Son, but I need to read up on self-hosting Lightning over Tor. This weekend, I hope :p
