Or almost, because you can really bypass the ban through TOR networks. So now, from Russia you can't access Proton Technologies tools. Therefore, the consequence was a blocking of services covered by a local law which obliges VPN services to provide information that is required by the country's security services. Something logical, since one of the strengths of both services and the reason why journalists and organizations use them is that level of privacy. According to them, during 2019 and especially during the first month of 2020 (very actively) the service has been used to disseminate false information about bomb threats.Īlthough Proton denies these requests, according to Roskomnadzor they contacted them to provide them with the administrators of said email accounts and the response was a refusal to provide data. Russia has published a Press release where they explain why they have decided to block ProtonMail and ProtonVPN services. Well, now it is Proton Technologies who suffers something similar. And it is that applying a point-to-point encryption system would prevent security services from accessing the data stored there if necessary. The company halted its project to encrypt all iCloud backups at the request of the FBI. Not long ago, one of the most striking news in terms of privacy and security was the one that affected Apple.
