My threat model is not LE, its google, facebook, etc. If me using privacy services happens to make LE’s job harder well thats just the cherry on top.

At the same time it’s also important that the provider only complies with requests where it legally has to. I trust Proton to act this way.

Well I’m a customer and I think it’s fine if the requests are legitimate. The question then of course is what is legitimate.

Its always about petty shit like piracy. You’d wish it was all them catching CSAM creators but thats a sliver of it. They’d be catching more rich dudes if it was.

My understanding is that the email is encrypted still so… they hand over the encrypted data which might be useless.

I thought the email body is e2e encrypted nowadays by default(?). And I mean regardless of who your provider is.

I suppose they now keep logs of their VPN service too then.

Swiss law doesnt allow complying with VPN services afaik.
ProtonVPN and ProtonMail are completely seperate too.
- sqgl ( @sqgl@beehaw.org ) 2•6 months ago
Do you mean the law doesn’t allow forcing the VPN service to comply with VPN log requests by authorities?
And what do you mean by “completely separate”?
Proton VPN… is operated by the Swiss company Proton AG, the company behind the email service Proton Mail.

From what I understood :
Under Swiss laws, VPN providers are not forced to log anything.
They also can’t comply with orders coming from a foreign country if not approved by Swiss authorities.
If someone is put under surveillance, he/she have to know that.However, always remind that that’s just the law, not what is technically possible. If you’re considered as a real threat for an important country, neither Switzerland or any country will protect you.

ProtonMail was not even against cooperation with the RuSSian terrorist government, and this post was still downvoted, funny.
Have you already decided whether privacy is important to you or not?
