@eff no no instead lets focus on how Proton had to comply to a swiss court order to release payment data - somehow people here think a company can magically make charges to a US bank issued cc without storing PCI compliant data that can be ultimately traced back to personally identifiable information at the card issuer... paypal mafia must has been hiding this magical way from rest of us who work on payments.

@eff Creating a list of apps whose operating companies leak, share, and sell user data would be a great idea. Maybe there is one but I’m unaware of it.
