But the point is what Swiss law is. They cannot be compelled by a court order to log data for their VPN service, but they can be compelled by a court order to log email accesses. This needs to be considered by users of Proton, and indeed it is a bad mark against them that this wasn’t clear upfront before the French activist case.
I’m not saying all this to defend Proton, really. I don’t even use their service anymore, but I did use the vpn for 3 years without incident.
