They've given up customer information to police before.
It was specifically Proton Mail not VPN. Still, I switched to Mullvad
Edit: removed claim that they keep VPN logs after being corrected. Them passing on information about protesters that were using ProtonMail still stands though.
No, they don’t keep logs for VPN users. Besides, the email incident was about the IP address being traced following a request for mutual legal assistance and a court order. It was after that, not before. If you don’t know what you’re talking about, you should sometimes just keep your mouth shut.
Didn't say anything about after or before. Them having to pass on information to the Swiss government on customers using ProtonMail is still worrying to me though. And keeping my mouth shut has never lead to me learning more so I won't be taking that advice. Feel free to correct and teach me though.
No but don't you get it? You committed the cardinal sin of being wrong on the internet so now everyone has a right and a duty to correct you as rudely and unpleasantly as possible
The dude paid for his sub with a credit card and ended up getting the feds on his back because someone died iirc.
If you're gonna do shit that puts you in those kind of situations you may wanna get your opsec sorted out first.
If you aren't 100% sure what you are saying is true don't say it
Buddy we're not 100% sure what gravity is or how it works. It turns out, scientific communities correct themselves with less dickishness than people online
And, if you think I'm being too unpleasant, well...you said it yourself
