He got got because the user used an Apple ID that was linekd to their real identity, which is one of the things Proton is obligated to provide in cases like this.
Proton says all the time, they are obligated to comply with the letter of the law, so do not store anything identifiable anywhere they’re legally required to provide it. They tell you exactly what not to do, to avoid this precise case. They do not want to provide anything they don’t have to, but they also do not want their company shut down.
The name/address of the terrorism suspect was actually given to police by Apple, not Proton. The terror suspect added their real-life Apple email as an optional recovery address in Proton Mail. Proton can’t decrypt data, but in terror cases Swiss courts can obtain recovery email.
Thanks for posting this, it’s important people catch more than just the headline. This is clearly another example of proton delivering on their promise. Fucking headlines gonna headline.
I mean, Proton was the necessary link. Not even like I fault them, people should realize email or any other 2-sided activity has 2 (or in this case, 3(+?)points of weakness.
Dunno, just hate the way we lie without even lying nowadays. Mot sorry that Rubes get rubed
There is no lying here. Adding real world identification that can be correlated to other accounts is the fault of the user. That’s being said, I’m glad Proton follows the letter of the law.
I mean… If Proton had no way of knowing your recovery email, it would be pretty pointless to set one up. If they do have a way of knowing it, they are bound by swiss law to give it up. No company is above the law, they have always been very transparent on that matter.
Why would you pay full-price for the game then? Sales are constant, games do not hold their value. If you are a developer that is bothered by this, I suggest you stop working for EA
Good thing seeing that a game is published or developed by EA, or one of its subsidiaries, is 9 times out of 10 enough for me to not bother with the game to begin with. They don’t make a thing that is worth dealing with them to get to play.
That company burned all of its good will and trust with me years ago. So sure go ahead and put as many ads as you want EA. I know for sure I won’t be seeing them.
I’d be okay with this if they made those games cheaper. But no, I have to pay $94 CAD for a shit live service game that I don’t even have the rights to and which the online service may be terminated at any time. Fuck EA and their monopoly on sports games.
This is another reason I tapping out of gamepass now. With whats happening with streaming, I don’t even want to support a “good deal” when I know the prices will go up, they’ll make tier pricing and add ads somewhere. I want to own my shit. I’m done with ads. Amazon last change to prime made me cancel all services except youtube and bought a 14tb hdd. EA, Ubisoft, Blizzard are all on do not buy list for me.
