ProtonMail Explains Why It Shared a User's IP Address With
Police

ProtonMail advertises itself as the world's largest secure
email service, and yet it recently shared the IP address and
device details of a customer with Swiss and French authorities,
which led to an arrest.

"While ProtonMail didn't cooperate with French authorities,  
French police sent a request to Swiss police via Europol to  
force the company to obtain the IP address of one of its  
users."
