Once again - Proton is legally obligated to comply with the laws of the country in which they are based. This isn't specific to Proton, and they are not going behind your back to do this. In case it's not clear, this data is directly from Proton.
It contradicts all of Proton's advertising... They continue to convey a different impression; even though they provide such data, they still advertise with certainty, etc...
Edit: I almost forgot... Back when this kind of thing was leaked (yes, leaked, not shared by them), I exchanged a few words with them (I am a customer, after all), and they denied everything and demanded proof... Nevertheless, I'm still with them because they're still among the least bad.

I don't believe it because Proton has been proven to have lied extensively in the past. That aside, I've had enough of this thread. I've said enough. Either people take note or they ignore it. I don't care either way.
