TL;DR, Proton was demanded to hand over the information that they had on someone to the Spanish authorities. They complied and gave them all the information they had: a recovery email address.
If you have evidence of your claims, please share them, as Proton is a widely used email, but you can’t make these sorts of claims without evidence.
Genuine question why? And whats better
first of all, they read your mail. second is it looks vibecoded.
Do you have any evidence of this?
because: proton advertises their mail service like crazy, so it’s easy to tell something sketchy is going on
I’ve never seen a Proton advert. Regardless, that is not evidence.
Something that would count as evidence is perhaps this article that proves that they literally did not have access to the emails: https://protos.com/protonmail-hands-info-to-government-but-says-its-not-google/
