@Johns_priv Hi there, as the linked article states, the identity and location of the activist was already known to the French authorities. We also provide an official Proton Mail onion site for use with the Tor network for those seeking anonymity. It’s also important to differentiate that VPN is not classified as a communication tool in Switzerland — Proton VPN does not log IPs and there are no existing Swiss laws that can compel us to do so. 2 comments
@Johns_priv Regarding that case, the name/address of the terrorism suspect was actually given to police by Apple, not Proton. The terror suspect added their real-life Apple email as an optional recovery address in Proton Mail. Proton can't decrypt data, but in terror cases Swiss courts can obtain recovery email. Setting a recovery email is optional, and you can read about other recovery methods here: https://proton.me/support/set-account-recovery-methods |
