    If that’s the case then perhaps they should have implemented Monero (or something similar), which was designed for, and as far as I know, still provides both anonymity and privacy. Neither of those are properties of BTC.

    Or they could have not done this since there are many other wallets that can be used without a paid account that can easily be blocked by such a regime.

    Seriously, if you live under the scrutiny of an authoritarian regime, please do not use Bitcoin for anything that might get you into trouble. It is neither anonymous nor private.

      People use BTC everywhere in the world, for example the anti-Putin opposition. Proton is implementing what people need, that’s fairly simple.
