Proton Mail came under scrutiny for its role in a legal request by the Spanish authorities leading to the identification and arrest of a user.

    And if they didn’t require that secondary email address or would allow a temporary, they would have had nothing to give in the first place.

    Proton aren’t the victim here.

      Proton doesn’t require a recovery email.

      Proton isn’t the victim, but they aren’t at fault either.

        They do in certain cases. If you sign up through a VPN or Tor, they require you to provide a recovery email. They don’t accept temporary email addresses, and even if you don’t sign up work a VPN, they’ll still collect and be obligated to hand over your IP

      Oh yes because you HAVE to give them your real.name@gmail address. Very cool and privacy focused.

      Suspect knew what info he had put where. Poor OPSEC.
