    I’m more of a socialist than an anarchist, although i sympathize with anarchists - socialism and anarchism can have quite some overlap.

    Any you really should work on your reading skills, because what i wrote and what you want to understand are two very different things. Since they don’t log IPs when not court ordered, no court can retroactively extract that data, and to be honest, if you know that you might attract government attention, using Tor or a VPN (yes, even ProtonVPN would have sufficed in this case) is basic OpSec - both would have prevented actionable intel being logged.

      You sound like you would be absolutely outraged if you found out Proton marketed itself towards activists. Have you looked at the promises on their homepage recently?

          Shifting the blame of corporate lies onto the activist they lie to.

          You socialist anarchists area a funny bunch.

            You know who really lied? The French authorities. Had they truthfully informed the swiss court about the reality of the situation, they would have gotten a tactful variant of “get lost” as a response from the swiss.

              I find it funny how you socialists look at a company homepage, read

              We are a neutral and safe haven for your personal data, committed to defending your freedom.

              and then decide to defend that company’s lie.

                defending freedom under the rules of swiss laws, which are pretty neutral when put in worldwide perspective. Also, “defending your freedom” is not equivalent with “selfdestruct for your freedom”. What would have been the alternative? you remind me of this:

                  “Proton should be honest somewhat”

                  “And yet activists stupidly trusted their marketing and signed up!”

                    You still haven’t offered an alternative to cooperating with an court order of the country your business is located in - as long as you can’t do that, every further discussion is pointless.
