[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.

following a legal complaint filed by New Delhi-based M Moser Design Associates. The local firm alleged that its employees had received emails containing obscene and vulgar content sent via Proton Mail.

in January, the New Delhi-based firm called for the regulation or blocking of Proton Mail in India, as the email service reportedly refused to share details about the sender of the allegedly offensive emails, despite a police complaint.

this has nothing to do with encryption services offered by proton. any email provider could fall into this pitfall.

Unless this is being used as a pretext to block a service they wanted to block anyway for other reasons.

Wouldn't most other providers just give up the senders' details immediately?

(Edit: less absolute)

i haven't seen any data to that effect.

I rather thought that was one of the main selling points of the Proton services.
