We need to call for an audit on Protons policy and see if they actually do what they say, that way we can know for almost certain that everything is good as they say

I mean we know from documented events that Proton doesn’t store you emails in plain text because there have been Swiss orders to turn over information which they have to comply with and they’ve never turned in emails, because they can’t.

Do you have a source for that? I know they handed over an IP address, but I haven't heard about them handing over an email.

[–] EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

As far as I know they have not handed over any emails.

That's what I thought, but you never know.

I hate it when people share this bullshit without proof, as far as I know Proton is still fighting for pro consumer and pro privacy laws and services.
