ProtonMail Suspends Journalists' Accounts: Security or Censorship?

ProtonMail, known for its commitment to user data privacy, faced backlash after suspending the accounts of two journalists reporting on a sophisticated cyberattack against South Korean government systems. While the accounts were eventually reinstated, ProtonMail's explanation remains vague. They claim to have received a warning from a security agency but refuse to name it, raising concerns about overcompliance with government requests and chilling effects on journalists and whistleblowers who rely on their service for secure communication.
