Oh look Proton is trying to score some PR bullshit when they will comply with the law just like they comply with the laws in their country. They are a greedy corporation who sells security theatre.

Kinda have to comply with laws mate
Yes, that is why them advertising as a privacy respecting company in a country whose laws force them to respect privacy has always been dumb. Literally every email provider has to follow the same law there hence their security theatre to sell overpriced access to email and their ever growing walled garden.
I just paid $80 for one year of proton. 2 years ago I paid $40 for 2 years.
Use information however you will.
Shit I pay $178 something for 2 years for one person but I get the full suite
I’m guessing you had a one time deal 2 years ago?
honestly if they have to move countries due to the bill its like the best advertisement ever.
so proton is now a movement.
