      There seems to be no suggestion yet that any crime was committed on/using ProtonMail itself. Just that it was a tool to track someone accused of offline crimes. So this comment feels like misdirection because there are probably options between being liable and effectively telling the cops where users are.

        They have to abide by court orders.

          Do Swiss courts not allow any defence to be presented?

            I don’t know Swiss law well enough to answer that. But getting mad that a company followed the laws they’re bound to by their jurisdiction is dumb.
