Their homepage says "By default, we do not keep any IP logs"
In 2021, any soft language like this should be a red flag for anyone who is against surveillance. Maybe in 2018 it was good enough. But in 2021 it's not.
Come on, Protonmail, you're supposed to be leading the way -- don't make me figure it out myself.
Replace immediately with "By default we don't log IP, but may be required to by local law enforcement. We recommend everyone connect through Protonmail through Tor. This month, 60% of our users connected through Tor".

- istingray 5y agoYes! Finally someone who gets it. Looking for Tor-first paid services to start up. At the end of the day, what Protonmail does just doesn't seem hard. I paid for their service with the mindset that it was temporary to invite better vendors to come along. Looking forward to what's next.
