Not OP

There’s not a lot of negative press about them.

They complied with Swiss government requests to out the IP of a French activist.

It looks like they’re really doing the best they can.

Correct. They comply with court orders, its a business. People still need to be secure in how they use it, which that guy wasnt. So if you’re attempting to evade the government, use a vpn. All your data is encrypted, where you access it from and your billing information cannot be.

If he was using their VPN, they wouldn’t have been able to turn that over according to their own site: https://protonvpn.com/features/no-logs-policy#:~:text=No-logs VPN,lengths%2C or location.

The French Activist was using ProtonMail e-mail for bad usages

I don’t trust ANYONE to decide on my behalf what a “bad usage” is.
