Deeply disappointed in @ProtonMail lately. I have been really glad about their existence, and have even tried to stay positive with the later issues, but turns out they sent @njal_la a demand for getting private user data, because someone wrote about them badly.
To be fair, last time we got news of Protonmail “doing sketchy stuff”, it turned out they weren’t storing anyone’s IPs at all until a government body demanded they to do it for the specific targets, and well, they still gotta follow the law. So well, I think it’s reasonable to have just a little bit of trust on Protonmail too whenever the next bad news pops up.

Here’s the thing. People mostly weren’t mad that they were forced to do this, but rather they very heavily implied in their marketing that they don’t store IP addresses ever, despite knowing that they may well be obligated to in certain cases.
