Proton Mail provided Swiss authorities with payment data for defendtheatlantaforest@protonmail.com — the account linked to Stop Cop City protests in Atlanta. The FBI obtained this information through a Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty request on January 25, 2024, identifying the activist behind the anonymous account through their credit card identifier.

Morality / Deepstate convos aside. I personally I can’t really fault proton on here. They are the only public provider I’ve seen with 0 tracking across any of their apps.

What they provided was payment info.
