That is not factually correct. For 1, Proton had to comply with a Swiss court order in the case of the French terror suspect. The user could have avoided having a recovery address in Proton, especially not an Apple one. Apple is the company who led to their arrest.

For the 2 point, again Proton didn't endorse Republicans on official social media accounts. Their CEO agreed with the anti-trust nomination Gail Slater on his personal X account.

Imho you're just spreading FUD. Single source support is not the real truth.

Next time, it is worth disclosing that you work for Proton's PR department.

> Proton had to comply with a Swiss court order

I agree this isn't Proton's fault, but that does not change the fact that it happened and lead to an arrest. It is difficult to make a Proton account anonymously without providing a recovery email (it seems they use this as an anti-spam measure when you're using a VPN or Tor), so imo this is an important point.

> Proton didn't endorse Republicans on official social media accounts.

  Proton’s official Reddit account posted a now-deleted comment stating that “Until corporate Dems are thrown out, the reality is that Republicans remain more likely to tackle Big Tech abuses.”
