    No.

    (Proton complies with court orders and the logging was due to such)

      So the answer is yes, if your threat model involves the government.

        Unless you use Proton’s fully encrypted communications, in which case still no because they literally can’t get the information. The issue with the french activist years ago was also in part because they didn’t use the full encryption feature.

        That said, I wonder why this story from years ago is resurfacing again? Is Google or Microsoft planning on releasing another unpopular feature?

      Yeah, the linked report is pretty clear about that and some other important points regarding this incident. The title is grossly misleading imo.

        … but actually no. Quoted from the article:

        “In extreme criminal cases, ProtonMail may also be obligated to monitor the IP addresses which are being used to access the ProtonMail accounts which are engaged in criminal activities. Whether or not a case qualifies for these enhanced obligations is determined solely by Swiss authorities and not by ProtonMail,”

            Where do you expect privacy when you’ve attracted the attention of the legal system?

    Proton has an Onion site for connecting to their service over Tor - it’s one of the neat things that you can use Tor for without any nefarious intent.
