Yes I do, and I tried encouraged my source to make the entire thing public but no luck there. In this case the person was already identified it wasn't much of an issue, the issue is that Proton simply provided everything to an US court without even a flinch. Apparently they can access user emails and they do without much fuzz.
That's called hearsay.
That doesn't hold up against the publicly available source code for their applications, white papers on their security and encryption, and multiple independent security reviews. And again, they are legally required to ignore US court orders. Only a Swiss court order can compel them to provide user information.
Yes, I know about all of that.
