It contradicts all of Proton’s advertising… They continue to convey a different impression; even though they provide such data, they still advertise with certainty, etc…
Edit: I almost forgot… Back when this kind of thing was leaked (yes, leaked, not shared by them), I exchanged a few words with them (I am a customer, after all), and they denied everything and demanded proof… Nevertheless, I’m still with them because they’re still among the least bad.
If you are attempting to leak state secrets (as was the case of Edward Snowden) or going up against a powerful state adversary, email may not be the most secure medium for communications. The Internet is generally not anonymous, and if you are breaking Swiss law, a law-abiding company such as Proton Mail can be legally compelled to log your IP address. A powerful state adversary will also be better positioned to launch one of the attacks described above against you, which may negate the privacy protection provided by Proton Mail. While we can offer more protection and security, we cannot guarantee your safety against a powerful adversary.
I just want a low cost VPN to get around in-state censorship and the occasional bit of piracy. I’m not running a Wikileaks fork or trying to do OpSec for The Revolution.
If you’re spinning up your own version of Silk Road, maybe consider a home lab instead of relying on untrusted third parties.
I don’t believe it because Proton has been proven to have lied extensively in the past. That aside, I’ve had enough of this thread. I’ve said enough. Either people take note or they ignore it. I don’t care either way.

Link, for most of the people in this thread surprised that Proton does what it’s pretty clear in saying they’ll do.
And people getting into trouble for using proton for stuff they are saying not to do.

Is there any information about what kind of data they shared?
I’m sorry, but I’m not going to bother with this thread anymore or provide any sources.
