    Proton upheld their claim of privacy, no Emails were disclosed. But they never promised anonymity cause that’s something they simply can’t do under the Swiss law. If you willingly give them your other mail addresses or contact details, they have to comply. Sure they could have denied the Spanish authorities, but it takes less than a week to get a court order for things like this.

      And if they didn’t require that secondary email address or would allow a temporary, they would have had nothing to give in the first place.

      Proton aren’t the victim here.

        Proton doesn’t require a recovery email.

        Proton isn’t the victim, but they aren’t at fault either.

        Oh yes because you HAVE to give them your real.name@gmail address. Very cool and privacy focused.

        Suspect knew what info he had put where. Poor OPSEC.

          Yes, as the reporter demonstrated, you have to give them a second email address. Or did I miss your point?

            I think you missed their point. You don’t have to give them anything related to or connected to your real name or identity.
