When Russia sought to ban PM in their country they used the same excuse as India (fake bomb threats). However, understanding that this can be done via different email services, just underlines that Russia and India are scared of their citizens taking their privacy back and perhaps even organizing.

They’re far from being the sole countries scared about citizens safekeeping any semblance of online privacy (hi from France, EU)
Sorry to hear about France. It’s really worse in France regarding your freedom online. Ironically.
They even tried to restrict VPN companies by passing a bill that forces them to keep logs. Proton was one of the companies that packed up and left. Good VPN companies don’t have servers in India.
We need to make tech that is useful for overthrowing dictatorships
I like it. This means that Proton actually works and they have no way to steal your information.
Right. Couldn’t ask for a better endorsement. Especially since the company has been taking a lot of Ls recently.
Just tell Modi that Proton’s CEO is a Trump endorser.
This is a great ad to use proton!
How? You can access it through Tor and other proxies.
Its usually somehow possible to evade such bans, but not every citizen knows about proxies and how to properly use them. So reducing its accessibility certainly hurts India.

Very interesting. Im fortunate in that, Im not in a country that (so far) has not banned a technology I’m using. But definitely, people will always find a way to circumvent a ban.
Not sure I’m not Indian. But we should see it as a war against encryption
It kind of is war against encryption. I generally say western media covers Indian government in unfair bad light, but this is exactly the type of bad light coverage I support. Call out the actual stupidity from the government.
No need for anything extra proton already comes with alternate routing
India is bad

Governments*
Right, thanks for correcting. But I also think that in addition to the government, the current state of the country is influenced by people and people worldview.

Can you explain? I thought Proton was a good service due to their VPN and such.
The company seems fine but I think they’re referring to the pro-Trump comments the CEO made.
There was a mistake in that comment afaik. It was something where context was missing from the picture which you could have seen on twitter and understand that the CEO is not pro- Trump
Proton edited and deleted some of their responses because it made them look even worse. You can find one here: https://archive.ph/quYyb
Complete delusion believing Trump will “stand up for the little guy”. The GOP is the party that gutted net neutrality after all. They had the Chevron doctrime overturned. The Thiel-Musk funded party standing up for “little tech”? Please.
The CEO tried to spin it off as “missing context” but the responses show he’s either completely delusional, has been comatose for the past two decades or is just pro-Trump. I can’t look inside his head, but his tacit endorsement of the party actively dismantling US democracy is not something that can really “lack context”.
Proton, the company, has donated to liberal parties. The CEO seems to be a bit more of the “libertarian” type, that doesn’t seem to mind everything the GOP did in the past years.

You can have your own opinion but remember that you dont need to be that rude to others
Lol wat?
Are these ceo tears?!
Proton is also a great service.
What the heck are you talking about?
How can a service be a Nazi even? Can emails be racist nowadays?
He isnt pro- Trump and neither a Nazi.
Go research again, it was just a comment with removed context
