Reminder that proton willingly cooperates with and is required by the swiss government to log and give all your activity to them. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2021/09/privacy-focused-protonmail-provided-a-users-ip-address-to-authorities/ https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2021/09/priva... Their email is a scam, they own all the keys and software you use to access the email.

The case shared above in fact shows that Proton's encryption provides privacy by default - none of the user's emails could be shared with law enforcement despite the data request which we had no legal grounds to contest. Of course, as any other legally operating company, we have to comply with the local law enforcement. The privacy we provide is reflected in not having access to the data to share with law enforcement, not in refusing to comply (which is not possible for anyone operating legally). We also don't have access to your encryption keys - they are encrypted with your account password, which we don't have access to, and have no way to acquire.
