IMO if proton can change their stance and their policies (like their website no longer says emails are anonymous), then I don’t think they are a good private service provider. The only thing going for proton now is that their emails are encrypted and can’t be read by them.

Who knows if a request came from a specific channel of the government that deals with crime, may be they will decrypt the content for them?

Have they exhausted Azure?

Then what makes a privacy oriented service different from others when they can open a backdoor for government? The thing is government wants control and they will change laws for exactly that. What Proton should have done was to eliminate the chance of this happening in the first place. Why are they having a logging mechanism? Why don’t they use RAM only servers or something like that? Privacy services should have the infrastructure and legal power to say “No”, or they are lying.
