Another event in an irregular series of disturbing behaviors, followed by appeasing and downplaying comments.

»last month, Proton disabled email accounts belonging to #journalists reporting on security breaches of various South Korean government computer systems following a complaint by an unspecified cybersecurity agency. After a public outcry, and multiple weeks, the journalists’ accounts were eventually reinstated — but the reporters and editors involved still want answers on how and why Proton decided to shut down the accounts in the first place.«

I do neither trust nor recommend #Proton services. They're like that suspicious person where you can't quite put your finger on what's wrong with them, but you'd never invite them home.
