They complied with laws. Where is the issue?

- Authoritarian regime decides that being critical of the regime is illegal and makes laws to support this.
- Activists use Proton for privacy.
- Regime demands that they give up data on activists.
- Proton complies with the laws.
That’s the issue.

They said things that led the unwary to trust they wouldn't. Remember, this isn't some terrorist mass-murderer they handed over, but apparently an anti-gentrification youth activist linked to Greta Thunberg's campaign groups.
Edit to add: in particular, Proton used to claim 'your privacy comes first' but this case suggests in reality, the Swiss government's help for French police comes first.

Oh ffs. We have known for years that Proton is just a for profit company like any other. They dont give a fuck about you or your privacy. They never have and they never will.
