The conversation we had yesterday on this topic was not very productive. One thing I'd like to see is a clarification about what surveillance actually means to a user. Does it mean:
- Providing IP address details?
- Providing message contents?
- The police compelling you to provide your password?
- Anything else I'm missing?
It would be nice to avoid equivocating "surveillance" and stick to a common definition so we can argue the merits of each potential practice.
- __HYde 7y agoThey have done several things including: - enabled IP logging against a specific user account - disabled an account and rendered assistance - comply with the data request, to the extent that it is possible, given our cryptography. The unknowns are what assistance they render and what extent is possible for them to comply with data requests. They have complied with requests without court orders in cases when they believed a court order was inevitable. They have also delayed reporting incidents at the request of authorities in order to not endanger victims. https://protonmail.com/blog/transparency-report/ https://protonmail.com/blog/transparency-report/
