A court record reviewed by 404 Media shows privacy-focused email provider Proton Mail handed over payment data related to a Stop Cop City email account to the Swiss government, which handed it to the FBI.
When their marketing is based on privacy, they need to be honest that they’re not going to be private.
I recall other companies using “canaries” to help their customers know that they had been compromised by the government but were legally not allowed to talk about it.
They’ve never had a true Warrant Canary. They have however always posted an annual Transparency Report on their blog. Where they reference they abide by Swiss Law.
