On Tuesday, 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 filed by New Delhi-based M Moser Design Associates. The local firm alleged that its employees had received emails containing obscene and vulgar content sent via Proton Mail.

How is this block supposed to work? Won't other email services still recieve emails from protonmail IDs even if the website/app is blocked across the nation?

Hey man, you seem to be applying logic and reason. Don't, you'll only hurt yourself.

I just received a tourist e-visa sent to my Protonmail account no problem, so clearly this block does not really work haha
