How do you even get a non-company-hosted server now? Public bodies don't host services for outsiders much any more and aren't really safe places for privacy in this type of case anyway.
Please show any Wayback Machine link for that quote on Proton's site. I can find 'your privacy comes first'. I didn't find 'up to the extent of Swiss law' yet.
Explain how you'd use Delta Chat without a server, please? I may have misunderstood its need for a mailserver when I tried it.
Nothing in their marketing says they'll refuse to comply with lawful orders.
Maybe not now, but it used to say 'your privacy comes first' which certainly gave the impression privacy would be more important than blindly believing and obeying courts.
Thanks for the link to their report.
Most of those still rely on some company to host a server, except Briar, and in practice most Briar users are still relying on companies to access Tor to connect.
They are more robust, not perfect.
I don't know about 'should' but wasn't that the impression their marketing tried to give? Or at least that they would fight to defend user privacy for noble activists? But when challenged, its owners seem to have folded quicker than a strapontin.
you will never know if they do.
You might, if you use a unique address, but it's rare.
And yet, legal entities are often found guilty of not complying with the law. I think people were expecting Proton to at least try to fight a morally-questionable court order.
There are hundreds of truly-private alternatives, many with no company involved at all.
Such as...? I bet some ISPs or hardware maker companies are involved at some point.
Do Swiss courts not allow any defence to be presented?
She was 17 at the alleged orgy and the age of consent in the US Virgin Islands was 18, so how do you figure that out?
