First, let's correct the headline: Proton did not provide information to the FBI. What happened is that the FBI submitted a Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT) request, which was processed by the Swiss Federal Department of Justice and Police. Proton operates exclusively under Swiss law, and we only respond to legally binding orders from Swiss authorities, after all Swiss legal checks have been passed. This is an important distinction. Second, let's talk about what this case actually involved. This wasn't a routine investigation. Swiss authorities determined that the legal threshold was met because a law enforcement officer was shot, and explosive devices were found during a protest in 2024. Switzerland has one of the strongest legal frameworks for privacy in the world, and its standard for granting international legal assistance is exceptionally high. This case met that standard. Third, let's talk about what was actually disclosed. No emails were handed over. No message content. No metadata about who the user communicated with. The only information Proton could provide was a payment identifier because the user chose to pay with a credit card. This is information the user themselves provided to us through their choice of payment method. Proton also accepts cryptocurrency and cash payments, which would not have been linkable to an identity. If anything, this case demonstrates exactly what we've always said: Proton holds very little user data by design. Even under the most serious legal circumstances, the only data that could be produced was a payment record. Our encryption means we simply cannot access email content even if ordered to. We understand that stories like this can be alarming, and we take our users' trust seriously. We will continue to fight for privacy and challenge any legal order we believe does not meet the strict requirements of Swiss law. But we also want to be transparent: no service can operate outside the law entirely, and Swiss law require…
So Proton DID respond to @404media.co and @josephcox.bsky.social hit piece. And I would like to see 404 respond with a follow-up.

Not EVERY suit was made of skin!
Fun fact: you weren't having a stroke until trying to read that induced one!
He's a senior in HS in Georgia.
The guy pitching for Brazil is SEVENTEEN
That's like "you're required to have one of your players bat for the other side ever 3rd at bat" levels of unfair
I've gotten "you're suspiciously knowledgeable about grooming and predatory behavior" before and it's like "yes dumbfuck...because I used to work on putting those people in fucking jail"
Great argument in the Kansas driver's license case.
Between Tulsi Gabbard and Graham Platner he seems to have a problem NOT endorsing them.
Arm them all with rusty knives and root for Sepsis.
She's comically awkward at it because she views her job as fluffing Trump's ego. She doesn't care if the message "sells" all that matters is Trump likes hearing her praise him.
If he thinks 500K fans of a Nazi podcast are important to reach...he belongs no where near the Senate
Also...he's a pathological liar

Harper to the judge: "Your driver's license doesn't list your height and weight at birth. It doesn't list where you used to live. It identifies who you are now."
Competent opposing counsel is a godsend. Makes everything run so much smoother.
My understanding is the Dem objections were to inadequate safeguards for victim information and the release of unverified reports along with verified reports.
From what I saw the issue was inadequate safeguards to protect victim identities and the release of unverified reports with verified reports.
Also just...that Canal is very much within range of Iranian missiles.
"you're all lawyer brained"
Uh....this is a discussion about the law...
Charlotte is Dunning-Kreuger personified.
Your surrender is noted.
What is your experience in this area that you're so confident here?
I've got empathy for parents who are drowning in medical misinformation definitely. Just...ask the questions sure. But when it's then "well ok...the Doctor says it's safe but this blog I read says it's not...I'm gonna go with the blog" yeah...you're a bad parent.
I am envisioning the Senate ending up 50-50 (functional GOP majority) and it being because SOME people just couldn't let go of their Gruff Blue Collar Dem Daddy even though it's becoming clearer by the day that he's a FUCKING NAZI.
The records here would be in the possession of the DoD and Collins can absolutely get her hands on them.
But why would she now? If I were her I'd absolutely hold off until he wins the primary.
Mills could probably get her hands on them too but this DoD will stonewall that to help Platner win.
So assuming this is accurate it means there's irrefutable proof he's lying about why he left the Marines and that he decided he'd rather keep the Nazi tattoo than stay in the service.
And you can BET Collins will blast him with those records if he wins the primary.
Platner will get DESTROYED.
Right-wing Christianity is basically "The Bible but ignore everything CHRIST said"
404 is getting rightfully blasted in the comments on their website for this bullshit framing too.
