many people read the headline, immediately start commenting, and only afterwards maybe read the article.

a little snippet of the article can help reduce the number of people who have a knee-jerk reaction to whatever the headline says

Even if you only read the headline, you can work out the most likely story from logic. Someone else in this thread already said it: they're not gonna go to jail for you over a small subscription fee, of course they're complying with local laws and then the Swiss people handed it over to where they got the legal assistance request from. It's also not the first time Proton cooperated with a legal request from Swiss authorities, or Signal or other similar companies for that matter. The story tells itself no matter what part of it they decide to stick in the headline
