• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Indian court orders blocking of Proton Mail⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  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.
