Indian court orders blocking of Proton Mail
Indian court orders blocking of Proton Mail
The ruling, which has yet to take effect, was ordered under India's online blocking laws.
following a legal complaint filed by New Delhi-based M Moser Design Associates. The local firm alleged that its employees had received emails containing obscene and vulgar content sent via Proton Mail.
in January, the New Delhi-based firm called for the regulation or blocking of Proton Mail in India, as the email service reportedly refused to share details about the sender of the allegedly offensive emails, despite a police complaint.
this has nothing to do with encryption services offered by proton. any email provider could fall into this pitfall.
Can India even block ProtonMail if the users also have ProtonVPN?
could they theoretically just block protonvpns ip range at an isp level?
India is scaring me
this is effectively an endorsement for the rest of the world
Honestly this is the text book definition of: "We do not understand anything about the technology so just ban it all together" They are completely missing the point that its a GDPR compliant privacy focused platform, Of course people are going to abuse that.
But to enact such a draconian measure is foolish imho.
