Proton Mail Not Blocked in India under IT Act, Union Govt Informs Karnataka High Court

The Karnataka High Court has received confirmation from the Union Goverment that it has not blocked Proton Mail in India under Section 69A of the IT Act, 2000.

M Moser Design Associated India Pvt Ltd filed a petition alleging cyber harassment of female employees via Proton Mail, a Swiss email service, and sought a ban on the platform. 

Previously, the court sought information regarding the measures taken to stop the illegal use, but the government stated no action had been taken yet. 

The Petitioner urges the court to direct the police to promptly initiate an investigation using international mechanisms.  

The next hearing is set for March 21, 2025.
