    can you expand a little on protons past? I haven’t heard about it. I’m trying to decide what email service to go with currently since I just bought a domain and I wanted to use it with my new non-googled email

      Protonmail doesn’t have a past of bad behaviour per se - they do comply with legal subpoenas from the Swiss authorities (they are based there) but as emails are user-key encrypted and they don’t keep a copy of the user key, the most they can provide is IP addresses and dates.

      There was some stuff that went down with regards to a French activist but nothing that puts Protonmail at fault (again, legally binding court order, they literally had no choice)
