I saw this over on reddit and people complaining that they “betrayed” their user base. It’s amazing how many people think just because they’re privacy based that means they won’t respond to a lawful court order.

My take after reading the response as well: I think it’s good that 404 reported this. Also, I think Proton acted responsibly. If you don’t read the 404 headline with a “Proton is a snitch!!!” mindset but more as “This is a thing that happened”, then there is some value in this story. Proton had to cooperate, they explain why and what users can do to minimize risks. Be aware.
