After the 404 piece on them (https://404media.co/proton-mail-helped-fbi-unmask-anonymous-...), this is the second stab at the good opinion I had about them :/
Not saying there's a pattern behind those two informations but I'll definitely be watching more closely their news.
i can totally understand this piece of news being a "stab".
but, i dont understand the 404 piece. they are a lawfully operating company, they will answer lawful requests. the same will be true of any and all companies you choose to use for your mail.
in this case, only payment data was handed over. if your payment history is of concern, proton accepts cash and bitcoin
(if anything, this should be a point in favor of proton, seeing as how the only data they were able to hand over was payment data, and not email contents)
