Indian Court ordered a nationwide block of the privacy-oriented email service Proton Mail on April 29, 2025.
The High Court of Karnataka ordered the block following a complaint by a local firm alleging abusive emails and AI-generated deepfake content.
This is the second legal attempt within two years to block the encrypted email service in India.
Swiss authorities are engaging with India to prevent the block of Proton Mail, emphasizing that blocking the service harms law-abiding users without stopping cybercriminals.
