    If you are an activist and don’t use basic OpSec, you have only yourself to blame in this age.

        You know who really lied? The French authorities. Had they truthfully informed the swiss court about the reality of the situation, they would have gotten a tactful variant of “get lost” as a response from the swiss.

          I find it funny how you socialists look at a company homepage, read

          We are a neutral and safe haven for your personal data, committed to defending your freedom.

          and then decide to defend that company’s lie.

            defending freedom under the rules of swiss laws, which are pretty neutral when put in worldwide perspective. Also, “defending your freedom” is not equivalent with “selfdestruct for your freedom”. What would have been the alternative? you remind me of this:

              “Proton should be honest somewhat”

              “And yet activists stupidly trusted their marketing and signed up!”

                You still haven’t offered an alternative to cooperating with an court order of the country your business is located in - as long as you can’t do that, every further discussion is pointless.

                  Why do you have the lowest possible bar for proton while you expect me to do their work for them?

                  I want the dishonest company to be honest somewhat. Do you not?

                    You still haven’t offered ANY alternative, and i suspect you don’t have any. As long as you cannot provide any path forward after receiving an court order that doesn’t involve cops kicking down doors and the same end result with a worse future perspective, i can only classify you as a hypocrite.
