The Karnataka High Court has mandated the Indian government to block Proton Mail amid allegations from M Moser Design Associates, which faced obscene emails through the platform. The court's directive, issued under the Information Technology Act 2008, followed the firm's insistence on regulating or blocking the service after it refused to disclose the sender's information. This ruling marks the second attempt to restrict Proton Mail in India, with a prior attempt occurring in Tamil Nadu due to misuse for sending hoax threats. The blocking enforcement is currently pending.
"The Karnataka High Court directed the Indian government to block Proton Mail, a popular email service known for its enhanced security, following a legal complaint by M Moser Design Associates."
"Justice M Nagaprasanna ordered the Indian government to 'block Proton Mail, bearing in mind the observations made in the course of the order,' under the Information Technology Act 2008."
