Note that I have not even mentioned France. Protonmail was forced by Swiss courts, period. Protonmail will not risk themselves for you. No client of Protonmail is worth fighting the Swiss courts over. Protonmail bowed down to the laws of the country they operate in, a smart move if they wish to continue legal operations. If you still do not understand this fact, or that I am speaking strictly about the repercussions that a Swiss company could face by ignoring a court order from Swiss courts in Swiss law in Switzerland, then we have nothing else to discuss. |

Where did I say they shouldn't have done this? I do understands that fact.
The issue isn't on what they did, it's on how they said they were protected against this but actually wasn't. We are talking about their marketing materials promising anonymity that they can't legally provide.
If that was a mere misunderstanding from their parts and they thought they could actually get away from providing the IP but couldn't actually, sure it was a simply mistake from their part to say that, I would agree with you, but you provided the proof that they knew, and you even said it was "abundantly clear" that it was the case.
I'll say the same as you, if you don't understands that part, we have nothing else to discuss. Even more so if you believe that it's fine to promise stuff that you can't legally provide.
