A fellow sent this to me, providing proof of how ProtonMail is vulnerable to state actors and for any activism or non-regular activities.
can i get a TL;DR, and some FOSS alt services? The down votes tell me the article isnt very good, but id like a TL;DR of it please before i up or down vote.
I suggest reading into it. The first paragraph, introductory lines aside, explain the issue.
During the aftermath of the emergency landing in Minsk of a Ryanair flight between Greece and Lithuania ProtonMail provided fractional information about emails which delivered a bomb threat against the plane to several airports. The partial and seemingly willfully incomplete response by ProtonMail has led to false claims by various media against the government of Belarus.
Conspiracy theory much?
