For some reason I have it in the back of my mind that they were at one point accused of being a honeypot for US intelligence because of their association with MIT. Probably complete BS, but maybe not. Are they as open source as they claim to be? Looks like they’re on github. F-Droid seems to think they have some Google libraries or whatever that they use.
ProtonMail users, how do you like/dislike it?

They don’t have to ignore it, just go to court to fight it. Apple has done this. To be clear I have no idea if they did or did not do that or what their chances of winning would be.

They only logged the IP. That’s metadata. IIRC Apple refused backdooring its phone encryption. That’s a lot more invasive.
Doesn’t Proton specifically provide instructions for how to use proton mail via proton vpn (and/or tor, discussed in the article) to provide extra privacy against IP-demanding court orders?
That would be rather short-sighted or disingenuous as they would then simply be forced to log their proxy too.
