Indian court orders blocking of Proton Mail

A court in India has ordered the blocking of encrypted email provider Proton Mail across the country.

On Tuesday, the Karnataka High Court directed the Indian government to block Proton Mail, a popular email service known for its enhanced security, following a legal complaint filed by New Delhi-based M Moser Design Associates. The local firm alleged that its employees had received emails containing obscene and vulgar content sent via Proton Mail.
