I’ve been using Proton Mail and VPN for a while now, and I’m just wondering how everyone else feels about them. I have this kind of inherent alight distrust of them just because they seem like they offer a lot for free and kind of have a Big Tech vibe about them, but there’s nothing for me to really substantiate that distrust with, its mostly just a feeling. That being said, I do use their services as mentioned and they work pretty well, even on the free teir. So aside from that one instance where they gave that guy’s info to the feds, is there any reason not to trust them with my data?

    The service could not appeal because a Swiss law had actually been broken and because “legal tools for serious crimes” were used.

    Yep under Swiss law he was a criminal, we may not agree with the law but unfortunately that’s the case here

      Yes. It’s not really Proton’s fault, but definitely unattractive to a user/customer
