Well, It wold be reassuring if they would say at least “sorry” for giving IP address of eco-activists to the french intelligence. If only they earn money, but they did it for free. It’s an improvement, but it’s still not enough

They were legally obligated to. There is so much misinformation surrounding that “controversy.”

They choose to comply with the law. Other provider of service choose to not to. I would be okay if their main argument wouldn’t be privacy, but it is.

Long story short: Proton got ordered to give the IP by a court and they will not go to jail for you. Surprise.
