    Last year, the police department of the southern state of Tamil Nadu had sought to block Proton Mail after the email service was found to have been used for sending hoax bomb threats to local schools. The Indian government’s IT ministry reportedly notified internet providers to block Proton Mail at the request of law enforcement. However, the Swiss federal authorities intervened to prevent the blocking of Proton Mail taking effect.

    Oh.

      Temporary blocking doesn’t seem unreasonable to me. Perhaps even a longer term one if Swiss federal authorities are going to meddle.
