@Nia_The_Cat@beehaw.org, thanks for your detailed reply! 🙂👍
They don't have to ignore it, just go to court to fight it. Apple has done this. To be clear I have no idea if they did or did not do that or what their chances of winning would be.
They only logged the IP. That's metadata. IIRC Apple refused backdooring its phone encryption. That's a lot more invasive.
They didn't just log the IP, they provided it to French authorities.
like... yeah, no shit
it’s worth noting that protonmail has an onion and their clearnet server also accepts tor connections. So users can control the leakage of their IP... but only if they’re willing to solve countless CAPTCHAs.
Well I'm glad to see they contest at least some of them. That must cost them a fortune in legal fees to protest 7k orders/year.
Doesn't Proton specifically provide instructions for how to use proton mail via proton vpn (and/or tor, discussed in the article) to provide extra privacy against IP-demanding court orders?
That would be rather short-sighted or disingenuous as they would then simply be forced to log their proxy too.
Not according to the article at the top of this thread:
According to Exodus, version 3.0.17 only had Sentry crash-reporting.
Did they add in Firebase in later versions?
