This is the best summary I could come up with:


In a statement, a Proton spokesperson told Indian daily Hindustan Times that the firm condemns the “potential block as a misguided measure that only serves to harm ordinary people.”

It will not prevent cybercriminals from sending threats with another email service and will not be effective if the perpetrators are located outside of India.”

Hindustan Times reported Thursday that the Indian IT Ministry had issued a notice to local internet service providers to block Proton Mail at the request of the Tamil Nadu police.

D. Ashok Kumar, a senior cyber crime wing police officer in Tamil Nadu, told Moneycontrol on Friday that he had sent the request to the IT Ministry to block access to Proton Mail.

Ashok Kumar, who is also the nodal officer for blocking orders in the state, said Proton Mail was “least responsive” in sharing details about the suspects who had sent the bomb threats.

Many lawmakers and privacy advocacy groups expressed concerns over the possible block of Proton Mail in India.
