Replying to @phrack
We're not ghosting you. We were alerted by a CERT that certain accounts were being misused by hackers in violation of Proton’s Terms of Service. This led to a cluster of accounts being disabled. Our team is now reviewing these cases individually to determine if any can be restored.

I would rather have them block my account immediately than to secretly log all my data and send it to a government like South Korea. Instantly kill the fire.

This is very upsetting, I have used @ProtonMail @ProtonVPN and other Proton internet based services for many years. Have also recommended dozens if not hundreds of people pay for their services as well. Looks like it is time to find another VPN & eMail service 😞 #FuckProton

regardless of whether or not you trust proton they are pretty clear on complying with government regulation/requests. proton is not uncooperative with governments, oftentimes it's the opposite. they just don't have any of your data to give that would be of value with basic opsec

If they're still based in Switzerland a local judge can demand action on behalf of a foreign government. I'm not aware of a jurisdiction with better safeguards. @TutaPrivacy doesn't seem to have these issues though.

You need to address this @ProtonPrivacy . I'm not going to continue using your service, or suggest it to others otherwise.

Unfortunate. I was in the midst of researching services to replace my remaining Google ones, and they were the leader. Seems I'll need to pull them from the list. Such a shame, @ProtonPrivacy. You tout something that you don't back up with your actions.

The moral of the story: It's very, very hard to get privacy from a legally registered company since it owes compliance to a government. They are part of the surveillance apparatus, no matter if they want it or not.

This looks so bad. Hope @ProtonPrivacy can clarify this situation soon

When platforms built on ‘privacy’ start silencing voices, it raises serious questions. True privacy means freedom, not selective control. Tools should protect data, not decide who deserves protection. With privacy-first chains like Secret Network, they don’t silence, they empower. On-chain, control belongs to the individual, and that’s how privacy should be everywhere.

they could end up in a situation where more users were at risk. they only suspended the account, didn't dump it to the authorities? also i always think the products promoted for these target audiences in the media could be just traps. you are much safer with self hosting.
