Indian Government to block ProtonMail after bomb threats were sent using a ProtonMail account

lemmy.world/post/11998237

lemmy.worldIndian Government to block ProtonMail after bomb threats were sent using a ProtonMail account - Lemmy.WorldThe IT ministry has reportedly decided to issue an order blocking end-to-end encrypted email service ProtonMail. According to a report in Hindustan Times, the government is planning to block the email service at the request of the Tamil Nadu police over a hoax bomb threat sent to at least thirteen private schools in Chennai on February 8. The report says that the decision to block ProtonMail was taken at a meeting of the 69A blocking committee on Wednesday (February 14). A Proton spokesperson told the publication that the company has received the request from MeitY “a few days ago”. “We are currently working to resolve this situation and are investigating how we can best work together with the Indian authorities to do so. We understand the urgency of the situation and are completely clear that our services are not to be used for illegal purposes. We routinely remove users who are found to be doing so and are willing to cooperate wherever possible within international cooperation agreements,” the spokesperson said.

I don’t use a VPN much as I don’t have the budget to buy a subscription to a decent VPN(not that I know which VPNs are decent and which are bad). I was just making a tongue in cheek comment about using a proton service to overcome a proton service ban
