Protonmail routinely hands over information to the authorities. They also determine themselves what cases should be allowed to bypass the requirements for a search warrant.

I just read the provided link and it seems to me that that will not provide anything without a court order.

They say they may decide to terminate an account or preserve the requested account data without a court order.

"We rendered assistance to Swiss law enforcement working on this case without having yet received a court order, but with the understanding that an approved court was on its way to us."

Conveniently the page is never update to say whether these court orders were actually delivered.

We got the court order. 100%. If not we would have taken the requesting agency to court.
Y'all rendered assistance to Swiss law enforcement prior to actually receiving the order?
Please update the page stating such.
