JFC were losing the internet everywhere.... we're just slaves to nation-states and corporations...

Turns out voting for conservatives has consequences.

I don't understand your comment, I thought liberals had a majority government...?

I'm sure liberals would pass on the opportunity to have more power and control and would totally thrash the whole thing.

/s, but should be obvious

Based on what happened with their e-mail, I imagine if the courts mandated IP logging for VPNs, Proton would still advertise their no-logs policy until they get caught out in a scandal and then silently update their marketing material & privacy policy afterwards. lol

ProtonMail 2018:

Now, Swiss courts have never tried to force us to log IPs, and the law is not completely clearly if we have to comply or not. If we got such a request, we would probably fight it just to test this out.

Did they ever end up fighting anything out? lol

I doubt they did - they only speak up for the fictional customer, meanwhile silently complying to whatever government requests user data from them.

[–] CosmoNova@lemmy.world 6 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

They still don‘t log your IP and advocate to not even give them your data, though. If you give them your credit card number and then use their services to sell illegal substances and if authorities of your country then find your e-mail address and contact Proton about it then their hands are pretty much tied. If you use one of their offered anonymous ways to pay for their services then there is nothing they can give authorities. Ultimately it‘s your job to take care of your identity and Proton offers ways to protect it.

Ah yes, Proton, infamous for being the knee and ratting out activists to the authorities, pretends it has any semblance of a spine left.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 13 points 19 hours ago

They were following a court order and only provided account metadata.

Also they scammed their way (liberals) to a majority by absorbing resigning NDP members and THEN they pushed this bullshit. They're anti democratic and aligned with the pedo elite in reducing our lives to nothing since 2020. Cant wait for the revolution to start and ill be among those hanging these bastards by the neck. Idgaf about a list, hi SCRS agent.
