No it doesn't. It suggests that they both complied with a request from law enforcement.

So… compromised.
Compromised means they got hacked, which would translate to all servers in Linode and Hetzner being unsafe for all customers.
Since this affected only one client and it's more likely than not a lawful intercept, it's not a compromise.
You're both using your own internal dictionary differently for the same correct word.
In hacking, compromised means hacked.
In intelligence, compromised means you have someone doing something on your behalf that they feel forced to do.
You seem to understand this so I'm not sure where the confusion lies.
