Things are getting worse in Turkey, but I don't think it's worth to block this service: Most of Protonmail users are familiar with VPN, TOR...

I disagree. I’ve recommended ProtonMail to many novice users and helped them get setup. It is so simple that I suspect many less technical users are using it in countries with oppressive regimes.

Misleading title: "ProtonMail is being blocked in Turkey", it's not blocked in Turkey, but by one provider - Vodafone Turkey.

And for full disclosure you should mention that you work for Protonmail when you post here.

I sometimes wonder, wether paranoid dictatorships could not be fooled, by automatically creating fake users in fake relationships, sending each other conspiring comments and information. That way all those secret service snoops could be kept busy chasing wild gooses, leaving the normal people they usually harass into oppossition, to go on about there lives.

It's not fully misleading; it is blocked within the borders of Turkey. But granted, it could be improved.

Aren't you actually agreeing?

He's saying they'll use tunneling to get around the block so they can carry on using it.

They recommend ProtonVPN. Does anyone know the legal ramifications of using a vpn with shared exit nodes? EG: A 'crack' squad of computer crime investigators in Jackson Mississippi track illegally uploaded content to a forum originating from ip address [39.21.2.32] (which is a VPN exit node). Unbeknownst to you that is YOUR exit node now.
