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”.
I think my original point stands which should make most people seriously reconsider using them as they are not in the business of protecting their customers. In other words it is bad on their part and hand waving that away is pretty gross.
