It’s also worth clarifying that ProtonMail doesn’t collect IP addresses by default. Instead, the monitoring/ logging starts after ProtonMail gets a legal request.

They still have to adhere to legal requests.

Yes, exactly.

Privacy is and should be a right, absolutely if you've done nothing wrong.

But it doesn't absolve anyone from the right to shroud from any crime committed, period.

if you’ve done nothing wrong

Through who's lens?

When a person is raped and seeking an abortion from Texas, do they deserve to be stripped of privacy? What about countries that see being gay a crime?

I don't particularly care about proton outing people, but they should absolutely be restricted from advertising that they're more private or secure than any other provider out there.
