If you want to remain anonymous, don't use your own goddamn credit card, FFS. Use cash. Proton *literally provides this option* for exactly these kinds of sensitive cases.
It's pretty much a no-brainer that as soon as you link a credit card to something, your anonymity is gone. That card is linked to you!

And I heard someone referring to this argument as victim-blaming, but it's not. It's just true that as soon as you link a credit card to an account, your anonymity is compromised. Perhaps Proton should develop systems to not have access to payment methods (not sure how that would work since renewal should work even if the person isn't logged in). But you can hardly fault them for complying with a Swiss court order. 4/?
