Indeed, untested in court, but the allegation is there, contradicting your posts earlier. That's all.

Also, Giuffre's statements on her age at the orgy differ, but the pilot's notes put it in early July, before her 18th birthday.

No, Cardiff Bus survived after the 1980s deregulation. All that was needed to survive was never to have elected a council that chose to sell it for a quick buck, like most did, in Wales as well as England, or have appointed managers that failed to compete with private operators like Stageroach and Worst.

If they'd sold it or gone bust, Cardiff Council wouldn't have been allowed to start more bus services themselves again.

She was 17 at the alleged orgy and the age of consent in the US Virgin Islands was 18, so how do you figure that out?

Currently it's being increased from 65 to 67. This seems to be a call to raise it to 69.

How do you even get a non-company-hosted server now? Public bodies don't host services for outsiders much any more and aren't really safe places for privacy in this type of case anyway.

Please show any Wayback Machine link for that quote on Proton's site. I can find 'your privacy comes first'. I didn't find 'up to the extent of Swiss law' yet.

Explain how you'd use Delta Chat without a server, please? I may have misunderstood its need for a mailserver when I tried it.

Nothing in their marketing says they'll refuse to comply with lawful orders.

Maybe not now, but it used to say 'your privacy comes first' which certainly gave the impression privacy would be more important than blindly believing and obeying courts.

Thanks for the link to their report.

Most of those still rely on some company to host a server, except Briar, and in practice most Briar users are still relying on companies to access Tor to connect.

They are more robust, not perfect.

I don't know about 'should' but wasn't that the impression their marketing tried to give? Or at least that they would fight to defend user privacy for noble activists? But when challenged, its owners seem to have folded quicker than a strapontin.

you will never know if they do.

You might, if you use a unique address, but it's rare.

And yet, legal entities are often found guilty of not complying with the law. I think people were expecting Proton to at least try to fight a morally-questionable court order.
