Complying with government data requests is NOT the same as collecting information for profit. A company cannot just decide to not comply with the local laws where they sell their products, or else they would risk getting banned in that country. Proton just like signal or any secure service will have to provide all of the requested info they have on you when demanded to. The point of using Proton and other secure services is that the actual important information (contents of your emails, drive elements, etc.) are encrypted, so even if they give the information, it will be useless. Proton isn’t sold as an anonymity service, but as a secure one. I’ve seen this whole debate and from the beginning it’s been stupid and uninformed takes that criticize just to criticize without any understanding of how being present in a foreign market works
