The person is a terrorist by definition and Proton does allow temp addresses simply because they cant enforce that you don’t just set up a SMTP server on your pc and get a temporary mail from that…
They are privacy focused but you don’t have to use their services for committing treason and plan terrorist actions/actions against a state when you are to dumb to not use your go to email as recovery.
@CaptObvious@Mikufan if the user practiced proper opsec it wouldn’t be an issue. Proton provides privacy not anonymity. Those are 2 different things. The second requires opsec in the users end.

Did you read the story? Or are you just here to stir the pot and display your Proton Fanboi bona fides?
I question if you’ve read the story. Its a very clear case that is painted in the story.
Indeed it is. The police asked and Proton provided. Very clear indeed.
At last, something we can agree on.
Like… They are required to do by law because its a terrorism case.
Questionable and not the point.
The pointis that the person is an idiot and Proton had to comply with a request about a terrorist.
The point is that Proton, a company that sells privacy, violated that trust, apparently without much of a fight.
The Spanish police didn’t even allege that the person is a terrorist.
I think we’re done here. We’re not even speaking the same language.
Have a nice life.
