Proton’s response which IMO is pretty rational all things considered https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonMail/comments/1nd1nrc/is_that_true/
In a response to the backlash, Proton’s official account stated that the company did not intentionally block journalists’ accounts and suggested that the situation had been “blown out of proportion.” However, the lack of clarity surrounding the decision-making process has left many, including the affected journalists, seeking answers. Proton’s founder, Andy Yen, later announced that the accounts had been reinstated but did not clarify the reasons behind the initial suspensions or the subsequent reinstatement.
So did Proton mail act on their own, or did they get a gun to their head to disable? Because Proton continues to act holier than thou about privacy and only caving if there’s a lot of evidence. But here is ANOTHER example of hypocrisy.
Ah, of course it’s South Korean cybersecurity agency. They suck at everything and only thing they do is trying to hide this country’s system’s vulnerabilities.

For the record, if your security is based on “trust”, you’re going to have a bad time. The whole point of a cryptographically secure line of communication is that you don’t need to trust anyone except the recipient. Protonmail users choose it specifically because they don’t trust anyone, including Protonmail.
LMAO
Perhaps not the most related, but it is sort of funny for The Intercept to cover this when they led to Reality Winner going to jail because they didn’t follow basic journalistic protection of sources.
That’s not what happened. Instead, in the process of fact-checking the document, the reporters assigned to the story sent the document to the FBI, which sent it to the NSA. The security agency easily identified Winner, a crypto linguist, as the source of the leak.
Not a great look for Proton though, this is entirely the antithesis of their entire identity and branding.
Even if you pay, you’re still the product. Newspapers made their money off ads, not circulation. Cable made money off ads, not outrageous fees. Proton is just enshittifying.
