I don’t understand your allegations against Proton VPN. They give data to federal agencies and they keep user data? When did they do that? Can you share any evidence of this?
I think they're referring to ProtonMail, not ProtonVPN. Same company, same difference. What makes you believe that they would play one service so significantly differently than the other?
Because Swiss law for the two services are different, and their compelled actions for email are not applicable to their VPN services. Their public statements, audits, and track record for the two services reflect that reality.
