A VPN would've only shifted the "blame" unless it was a decent one like IVPN.

Tor would've been much better, especially considering Proton has an .onion address.

Yes, by VPN I meant something decent. Not whatever spyware is top on the Play Store for circumventing geoblocks.

They were already using Proton Mail, they just were probably thinking that was enough. It would have been if the French had not been able to convince a Swiss court that their request was valid.
