Proton denied all 47 requests for user data this year, making it 458 rejected since 2019, not a single one fulfilled.

I know this is vpn not email but seems to be some sort of PR.

Mail and VPN have different legal requirements in Switzerland

Honestly, I'm surprised it's only 47 considering its user base and the fact that we're already in July.

47 sounds low for a month, given the US governments aggressive push to identify and punish anyone who voices an opinion not approved by Trump and his cabinet.

Maybe it's unusual for any sort of authorities to advance a digital investigation to such a point where the would be able to definitively identify an IP address and a VPN provider.

I suppose they don't receive many requests because it's already known that the answer will be no.

Yes yes let's train the public to wait for official confirmation of these things instead of using inductive reasoning based on past disclosures. That would be delightful for you wouldn't it?
