minus-squareCaptObvious@literature.cafelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·7 months ago Its a very clear case that is painted in the story. Indeed it is. The police asked and Proton provided. Very clear indeed. At last, something we can agree on.
minus-squareCaptObvious@literature.cafelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·7 months agoQuestionable and not the point.
minus-squareCaptObvious@literature.cafelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·7 months agoThe point is that Proton, a company that sells privacy, violated that trust, apparently without much of a fight. The Spanish police didn’t even allege that the person is a terrorist. I think we’re done here. We’re not even speaking the same language. Have a nice life.

Agreed
Anonymity most certainly is a part of privacy.
