The Karnataka High Court is hearing Proton Mail’s appeal against its ban in India. A partial email blocking is in effect while a government review under Section 69A is ongoing, expected to conclude in eight weeks. The Court emphasized the responsibility of Moser Design to report offending emails to Proton for immediate action.
Proton AG is contesting a Karnataka High Court order to block Proton Mail in India, arguing it infringes upon free speech and privacy rights. The court is weighing national security concerns against digital privacy. Proton AG claims the blanket ban is unjustified and could deter international businesses from India, as misuse allegations remain disputed.
