    I think there was someone who was bitching here at one time, about ProtonMail handing out some user’s account by court order. And they were trying to be snarky like “oh, guess ProtonMail doesn’t care about your privacy after all!” or some shit.

    And your comment here completely clarifies the differences about protecting privacy from enabling you to continue your criminal activity.

    I myself cannot be 100% sure my privacy would be protected, if the service I knew, was having their door knocked because they knew I’m up to no good.

    Your privacy is ensured from the likes of spam, advertisements and corporate eyes reading your e-mail. Not criminal activity.

      I want to know what happens when something is only a criminal activity in a state.

      Is an Alabama resident moving eggs and IVF clinics to a different state considered criminal activity?

      How about a Texas resident talking about getting an abortion in a different state?

      I’m not sure if state governments can even requests this but it does interest me what Proton’s response would be. What if it was countries instead of states?
