I'm not familiar with India's legal system, but would this only affect Karnataka for now...?

After sending a message to abuse@proton.me, and/or filling in the proton abuse form, M Moser could have easily blocked proton.me on their own servers so they would not accept any messages anymore. Instead, they choose the hard way and managed to block proton also for all law-abiding Indian citizens with legitimate proton subscriptions. And it will not solve anything, the spammers will simply move on to other providers (see https://rigorousthemes.com/blog/best-protonmail-alternatives/)
They've been trying to block it since that bomb threat which I think turned out to be a hoax. Lots of terror threat hoaxes which I've been hearing about in the news. But banning proton because of some edgy idiots is dumb
Like @itsame@lemmy.world said, you can block proton all you want, but the idiots will just move to a different provider.
How is this block supposed to work? Won't other email services still recieve emails from protonmail IDs even if the website/app is blocked across the nation?
I just received a tourist e-visa sent to my Protonmail account no problem, so clearly this block does not really work haha
Hey man, you seem to be applying logic and reason. Don't, you'll only hurt yourself.
