I guess ProtonVPN also is not an exception to such "undeniable" requests. Bad day for company who bank on "no log" policy. Their marketing division will have a ton of work to fix reputation :)

Would you trust any VPN provider in that regard? I sure don't.
Mullvad is definitely the ones I'd trust the most.
No, ProtonVPN isn't subject to the same problem (according to the CEO).
That is of course not likely. If you get a police order you must comply, no matter what you have in your marketing.

and what's left of his credibility.

Care to share more information about this?
Probably refers to this:

> Under current Swiss law, email and VPN are treated differently, and ProtonVPN cannot be compelled to log user data.

I wonder if this only applies to their VPN servers in Switzerland.
Until it is.
I assume what they mean is that - they might have to log connections to their service (like with ProtonMail), but they won't have to provide what data that user account has accessed through the service, same as they didn't provide the actual emails of the account in question, but "just" the connecting IP.
