Proton is quite a privacy washing front. Surprised than even in HN nobody check behind the facade what was signed.

Such as?

These aloof comments that talk about something we're supposed to know about without referencing anything are very unhelpful.

Yes, they're losing it.

It's a pity, they were doing well for a long time.

I'm surprised that someone on HN would paint all of HN with the same brush.

It's one of those 'lesser evils' things. If you know of a better email provider I'd love to know.

Proton complied with a court order once (that we know of), no? I have seen a lot of negative sentiment from HN commenters toward them but not a lot of evidence to back it up, particularly when you consider the email marketplace.

It was a legally mandated court order they couldn't just refuse. No encrypted data, the contents of their emails, was handed over. The person would've also been safe had they used vpn/tor as I recall the story.
