@xevhi@skarfester 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.
@protonprivacy@xevhi@skarfester when I first created a ProtonMail account I didn't add a recovery mail, because I thought it could be a problem. I don't remember if I did so because you warned it, or if I figured it out by other means. However, I am wondering now if a court orders you to give them the IP adress where we access the account, would you have this data, and would you have to give it? If so, how can we avoid it? If we connect our computers through Tor is it really anonymous?
@sjoel No, login IP addresses are not logged by default, and yes, using Tor or a no-logs VPN like Proton VPN would effectively hide your real IP address. You can learn how to use Proton Mail more anonymously here: https://proton.me/blog/use-protonmail-anonymously
