I use Proton to protect myself from Google, Microsoft, advertisements, tracking, terrible, slow, “too much padding everywhere” UI, my emails/data being sold to 3rd parties, etc. I’m not worried about Proton cooperating with law enforcement agencies to catch criminals.

However.

What if say, russia/nk/china wants to catch somebody some journalist for speaking truth about their regimes? Or, like say, Jason Bourne exposing some IronHand in “democratic” country like USA? How can we protect good actors without enabling adversaries to do “bad stuff”? Is it even possible? I still don’t know the answer…



But requests have to meet Swiss standards, which makes all the difference.
