@AT1ST @malwaretech Proton can not be compelled to provide bulk surveilance. What is to be misunderstood in the "bulk" word? They stated what laws of their incorporation says. Privacy does not mean anonymity. Encryption does not mean anonymity. Encryption provides confidentiality, this is a vessel for privacy. Tech can provide your mail can not be read by their staff if both parties use two-key approach. As this was too hard for the masses, one can now turn this on. The problem is so many people can not grasp the details. Then the easy and enough-secure provider is magnitude better for the masses than alternatives feeding the monster siliconiacs. Were Proton started their message with "dear user, remember we are obliged to help law enforcement to know you" this would be as much misunderstood. And prospect non US user would be inclined to choose eg. Apple mail instead. Because "you know, Apple protects their customers". Reiterating: Privacy is not anonymity. Encryption is not anonymity. There is no anonymity on current Internet, only are ways to up cost and time to discover. Like hand routed Tor between mail services hosted in separate mafia states.
