cock.li seems to be just your average e-mail provider with no security features, as they existed since the dawn of internet. They have access to e-mail metadata and contents, and so does law enforcement or anyone hacking their servers.
How can they not be transparent? They don't have any technical reason to make any security claims.
- reginold 5y agoI may not understand cock.li, what feature/aspect does this quote refer to: "Cock.li has not had a successful demand for user information since 2017, thanks in large part to better education of law enforcement that contact cock.li."
- 0-_-0 5y agoIt refers to the size of cock.li. It's so small that it didn't get into Protonmail's situation yet.
- dngray 5y agoI would also bet they may have handed out some select information but it just hasn't "hit the news". I would say cock.li is certainly big enough that someone has used it in a criminal matter eg child pornography, bomb threats etc. With email it's either that or they go after wherever you're hosting from.
