HC reviews Proton Mail's appeal against India block

Proton Mail is pushing back after the Karnataka High Court ordered its email service to be blocked in India.
The court's move followed complaints from M Moser Design Associated India, who raised security concerns about certain Proton Mail URLs.
Right now, Proton Mail is still up and running as judges review the appeal.

TL;DR

Here's why the email service was ordered to be blocked

It started when M Moser Design said their reputation took a hit from offensive emails sent through Proton Mail.
They claim police couldn't track down the senders because Proton Mail wouldn't share user info—even after a complaint was filed.
Proton Mail's team says blocking the service would hurt Indian users and wants action paused while the case plays out.
