Η Protonmail, είναι μια πολύ γνωστή υπηρεσία ηλεκτρονικού ταχυδρομείου που έχει σαν γνώμονα την προστασία της ιδιωτικής ζωής. Η εταιρεία λοιπόν κατηγορείται ότι βοηθάει τις υπηρεσίες επιβολής του νόμου να κατασκοπεύουν τους χρήστες.
The company of course denies these allegations.
The first information about ProtonMail's cooperation with law enforcement officers was expressed by Stephen Walder, prosecutor and head of the cyber security authority in Switzerland.
ProtonMail practices are also mentioned in the blog of Martin Steiger, a lawyer in Switzerland.
It is known that the ProtonMail service provides encryption from end to end (end to end), which is supposed to stop even the company's access to the content of users' electronic messages.
However, developers still have access to their metadata emails.
Steiger says this data can be extremely interesting and useful for both law enforcement and intelligence services.
For their part, representatives of ProtonMail published an official announcement, which states that the company does not cooperate with law enforcement officers.
According to ProtonMail, the company helps the authorities only in the case of public intervention.
