    And if they didn’t require that secondary email address or would allow a temporary, they would have had nothing to give in the first place.

    Proton aren’t the victim here.

        They do in certain cases. If you sign up through a VPN or Tor, they require you to provide a recovery email. They don’t accept temporary email addresses, and even if you don’t sign up work a VPN, they’ll still collect and be obligated to hand over your IP

      Proton doesn’t require a recovery email.

      Proton isn’t the victim, but they aren’t at fault either.

      Oh yes because you HAVE to give them your real.name@gmail address. Very cool and privacy focused.

      Suspect knew what info he had put where. Poor OPSEC.

        Yes, as the reporter demonstrated, you have to give them a second email address. Or did I miss your point?

          I think you missed their point. You don’t have to give them anything related to or connected to your real name or identity.
