Is it fair to say that if the internet ran on Tor, it would make privacy a lot easier for everyone?
I never saw this explanation before of the time Proton "shopped" a French activist. Proton legally had no choice, as a law had been broken, but they said if the activist had used Tor, Proton could not have helped the police in their enquiries.
Apparently Proton could have also suggested all users access their accounts via a VPN to cut out Proton's access to any usable IP info, but I guess as a VPN provider they thought it politically incorrect to say that publicly at the time!! https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2021/09/privacy-focused-protonmail-provided-a-users-ip-address-to-authorities/
