I think we should not think of "request" in the same way as a court order. This seems the essential difference to me.

By the way: The author of the post is an attorney at law and member of the Chaos Computer Club (CCC), which makes me believe that he wouldn't falsely accuse ProtonMail.

As an attorney, I would expect a better substantiation than "I tweeted it, so it's true".

But, fair enough regarding request vs. order. I am not familiar with Swiss law terminology.

And he might be right! But to claim he is right because "I tweeted it during the conference" is, as I said, not swaying me either way.
