Same. It’s not like these companies can just say no to legal orders within the bounds of their laws. Even solo FOSS devs with their fledgling privacy centric messager apps would have to comply with their country’s laws. I also think a fair number of users that get outraged over it aren’t big on actually reading the privacy policies for the services they use. IMO Proton didn’t do anything surprising here if one reads that policy.
