Oh look Proton is trying to score some PR bullshit when they will comply with the law just like they comply with the laws in their country. They are a greedy corporation who sells security theatre.

You're the kind of guy who confuses and conflates security, privacy, and anonymity all the while somehow expecting companies to operate beyond the law.
You can't make this shit up. Hahahaha
Produmb I guess. You do know they had to change their marketing material and backpedal several times already.
They love to blame the end user for their inability to get their act together. For instance, storing credit card information on their servers when they don't have to and if they really respected privacy they wouldn't. They love to pay that lip service.
I even read an article they published where they insinuated turning on logging was more beneficial than anonymity. Just plain stupid honestly.
People who think that throwing money at a problem are welcome to play security theatre with them. Another sucker is born everyday.
Kinda have to comply with laws mate
Yes, that is why them advertising as a privacy respecting company in a country whose laws force them to respect privacy has always been dumb. Literally every email provider has to follow the same law there hence their security theatre to sell overpriced access to email and their ever growing walled garden.
I just paid $80 for one year of proton. 2 years ago I paid $40 for 2 years.
Use information however you will.
Shit I pay $178 something for 2 years for one person but I get the full suite
I’m guessing you had a one time deal 2 years ago?
Perhaps. It was two years ago. I honestly don't remember.
honestly if they have to move countries due to the bill its like the best advertisement ever.
