    The article says they were literally forced to comply with the request by Swiss Law as the request went through the proper legal channels.

    They also only disclosed the accounts recovery email address. Everything else was obtained by Apple.

    Why is reading sources so hard for people?

      Because it’s much easier to get angry about misleading headlines. Comprehension is difficult.

        You just flat out made that up. The Spanish police (federal police its not clear) made a request through the legal channels under their terrorism laws.

        Whether or not it is terrorism is absolutely not up to Proton or any other business to decide, they just have to comply with the laws of the land in which they operate - in this case, Switzerland.
