So my Proton Mail account was suspended, and when I asked why, they said it was from an anonymous complaint (I'm sure you can guess who sent that). Not only will they not restore my account, they won't even let me download my emails.
I asked them what part of their Terms I violated, still waiting on a response...

I have never even used it on Wikipedia. The only place I put publicly was my signature here, and a few days later it was suspended. These people are straight up psychos.
