People are getting mad at #ProtonMail for sharing a user's information with the FBI. But guys, ProtonMail protects your #privacy by #encrypting your email content by e2ee. It doesn't make you #anonymous. They also have to abide by Swiss law to exist as a company. This is the result of confusing privacy with anonymity. And if people wanted to be anonymous, then why did they use a paid account with a credit card tied to it in the first place? That's dumb.
