Protons history
I’m not a fan of them, but I don’t think you could point to any email provider that can’t or won’t provide IP addresses and recovery emails to law enforcement when compelled. You can use proton without a recovery email and over tor, which is more than most allow as well.
I only mentioned their history and did not call for a boycott. I also use proton myself, but it annoys me that they present themselves as better than they are... They are just one of the few less bad providers.
Very true.
