I didn’t say that. I said they’re obeying the law they are obliged to obey. In other words, they’re not defying the courts. In a perfect world, they could defy the courts and get away with it in the interest of user privacy, but this is not a perfect world.
You are right, they can argue that the government does not have sufficient reason. Many companies push back, but Proton is not one of them. I.e. Proton will not fight for you at all and they will follow court orders from other countries that are often questionable at best because “Interpol”.
