    Because proton put themselves into this position by making false advertising claims. Let’s not forget this isn’t the first time proton has given away the IP of an individual and last time was even worse because proton at the time was directly advertising they kept no IP logs which they had to quietly remove after giving the Swiss feds the IP.

        They dont log by default, they log with a warrant, I guess. But still, hello, they are just companies, they don’t owe you nothing. You should all use anonymous services wich will close in fee weeks or months as it’s illegal to keep nothing

        If you look though my comment history you’ll see I’m a huge advocate for tor/I2P instead of VPNs
