@404mediaco It's not ProtonMail's fault; they have to follow the law.
If they just handed data over without being legally required to, that would be concerning, but that doesn't seem to be the case here.

@iampytest1 @404mediaco international law? why does that override the Swiss in this case?

@marion_grau @iampytest1 @404mediaco Nothing overrides anything. It's also not international law. Any law enforcement agency can request another country's justice department for information. Evidently the swiss courts decided that this information should be passed over to the FBI.
