    Everyone just memory hole and forget about how they complied with a subpoena to turn over the IP and phone number of a French protestor to EUROPOL, leading to their arrest.

    Yep, that happened while they were telling their users they do not log IPs and are secure and will protect your privacy, as they still are.

    And yes, this is unambiguous, they admitted to doing it.

      Yes, a company was legally obligated to turn over the data it is legally obligated to collect. I am shocked I tell you.

      Bruh, it’s just one user.

      How long has ProtonMail been in service? Since 2014 and they’ve only had to turn over one IP for one user in that entirety to date.

      Big fucking deal, dude…
