    What about Proton? If you mean the fiasco a few weeks back then that’s a false alarm where the internet just went apeshit over an innocent remark.

    Edit: From what I’ve seen from these replies, it’s all false alarms and nothing actually implicates Proton here. A Swiss company is not obligated to put up a disclaimer saying Trump bad every time they want to talk about American politics (which they only do so far as it pertains to their privacy mandate).

        The article says they were literally forced to comply with the request by Swiss Law as the request went through the proper legal channels.

        They also only disclosed the accounts recovery email address. Everything else was obtained by Apple.

        Why is reading sources so hard for people?

          the report came through channels which made them assume it was serious like terrorism. It was a request not a court order. why is reading so hard for people

            You just flat out made that up. The Spanish police (federal police its not clear) made a request through the legal channels under their terrorism laws.

            Whether or not it is terrorism is absolutely not up to Proton or any other business to decide, they just have to comply with the laws of the land in which they operate - in this case, Switzerland.
