Keyword is "like": a service like Proton. No idea if and what data they have offered to their government. I was merely trying to offer an explanation to the parent commenter, who was wondering how people can critique pricacy-focused services offering data when required by law.

Fair enough, I agree. In Proton case, I'm biased because I used to work there ~2019-2022 and the company was basically printing money from subscriptions alone (covid likely helped with that), while fighting (pretty successfully) every request to avoid providing even that limited metadata, because alternative of ruining your core strength - privacy - meant the death of the business. I don't know if anything changed, but I'd bet the goals remain largely the same - providing good-enough privacy any commercial company can realistically give you. Unencrypted user data in this business is poison, and they're well aware fwiw.

You seem to be hiding behind this "like" while writing into comments about Proton - making accusations and theories that imply it's Proton that actually does that.
