Yes, they capitulated.
I'm a little more concerned that in your rush to defend them, you seem to be implying that pushing back against the authorities should be the norm, which is way worse than what they're doing here. Surely an anarchist [sic] can appreciate that.
It's a reality of our world that if you don't comply with court orders, the court will make you comply by using force. I'm no fan of that, but that's something neither me nor any mail provider can prevent.
Also, any business has an interest in not making the cops bash in your doors on the regular; you lose any ability to make the courts side with you when you try to get better outcomes for your costumers if you are known to not comply.
If you're not a fan of it, take your complaints to Proton.
I appreciate you sounding the alarm that Proton's PR here is not to be trusted, but you're acting upset at the messenger.
You seem to be very confused. Your last couple comments do not seem to accurately reflect what the other person is saying.
