I just switched from proton to mailbox. Mailbox gives you a say so over what happens when law enforcement asks for your account info.

Mailbox.org doesn’t have the option for anonymous payments beyond payments in cash, which was the reason for the article in the first place.

It does t matter if you have the ability to simply delete all of your account info.

You do realize that you don’t get time, generally speaking, to delete things, when a government legally demands your info, right? As soon as any company sees a lawful order demanding information, deleting it becomes a crime. If this same thing happened to mailbox.org, you heard about it immediately, and hit all the delete buttons you can find, mailbox.org will still hand over your info to them, as they’re legally obligated to do so. It’s not a gdpr violation or anything like that.

You’re not understanding. It’s a preemptive option.

It’s preemptive for when you DIE. That’s why in the screenshot you sent it says “in the event of my death”, not “if the government comes knocking, violate the law and delete my data first”. You can delete your data from Proton, too, but the payment information, which was how this person was identified, is stored regardless by their third-party payment provider. Mailbox only erases your payment info 4 weeks after you’ve last paid, and ended your contract with them, and they use Ayden for payments, which also has no set date at which they’ll delete your payment information.
