    Proton said that had their user actually bothered to use any VPN, even Proton’s, there wouldn’t have been anything to give to authorities except for an exit node IP.

    “She shouldn’t have dressed that way.”

    Proton could do better, and it’s ridiculous that there are people out here okay with them not doing better.

      Our legal entity is in Sweden, where the law does not allow for any government to force us to spy on our users.

      You’ll agree that Proton doing better would require them to move to a different country, right?

      Also Mullvad doesn’t offer email accounts, does it? Seems that they couldn’t have a ‘no user data’ policy if they did since the emails would be exactly that.

        I’m okay with this. Sweden isn’t exactly known as a bastion of freedom. Our current minister of equality (Liberals) is pushing for a porn ban. The EU proposal colloquially called “Chat Control” was originally put forth by the Swedish EU Commissioner Ylva Johansson who belongs to the Social Democrats.

        Also Mullvad doesn’t offer email accounts, does it? Seems that they couldn’t have a ‘no user data’ policy if they did since the emails would be exactly that.

        You’ll forgive me if I don’t feel like it’s productive to repeat myself, but if you genuinely care for a response you can view it here: https://pawb.social/comment/18804733

        Have a good one.
