    I can’t tell if this was a “just because we wanted to” or a “court order” kind of handing over.

      Proton Mail has been very clear that it complies with the law, but does everything it can to have as little data as possible to turn over when it is legally compelled to do so. This is a non story.

      However, when my Protonmail subscription is getting close to being up, I’ll be shopping around because Andy Yen loves Donald Trump.
