If people are unhappy about Protonmail I suggest they try find an email provider that is impervious to any judicial requests. Of any country.

It is naive to imagine companies that have an address and take payments can ignore judicial decisions.

Yes there's a point about fighting decisions, but as people say "we live in a society".

Some companies try harder to fight the decision than others and it makes a difference.

Protonmail fought 700 actions the past year as per the twitter thread. I think that's very above average. https://twitter.com/andyyen/status/1434665937203077120

And yet they said they didn't even know it was a climate activist so how could they really fight if it isn't simply technicalities they are fighting on? Again, they fail to provide transparency in what reasons those requests were rejected and sounds like more marketing spin.
