Protonmail is cop friendly. Any reasonable privacy aware email provider would hash the secondary email, not store it as cleartext. I implemented secondary email hashing for Riseup to prevent exactly this thing, over a decade ago.

Also, WTF logging IP addresses?! I don't know about Swiss law, but at least in the US if you design your system so that you can't gather certain data you can't be compelled to re-engineer it to gather that data just because the cops want it. That is what the whole FBI versus Apple case was about, and the FBI backed down rather than lose in court

@elijah a few years ago i was talking with an an anarchist in their teens who said "I went with Riseup for email instead of Proton because Riseup was designed by people who understand activism and Proton was designed by scientists." Hard to argue with that!
