They only logged the IP. That's metadata. IIRC Apple refused backdooring its phone encryption. That's a lot more invasive.
like... yeah, no shit
it’s worth noting that protonmail has an onion and their clearnet server also accepts tor connections. So users can control the leakage of their IP... but only if they’re willing to solve countless CAPTCHAs.
@Nia_The_Cat@beehaw.org, thanks for your detailed reply! 🙂👍
Doesn't Proton specifically provide instructions for how to use proton mail via proton vpn (and/or tor, discussed in the article) to provide extra privacy against IP-demanding court orders?
That would be rather short-sighted or disingenuous as they would then simply be forced to log their proxy too.
Not according to the article at the top of this thread:
According to Exodus, version 3.0.17 only had Sentry crash-reporting.
Did they add in Firebase in later versions?
