Can you list countries with stronger privacy laws that woud not have forced Proton to provide this information to law enforcement of a friendly country?
That’s for government intelligence agencies though? Proton had to identify the activists due to a French court order which Switzerland enforced since these two countries cooperate to some extent.
Are there countries with solid privacy regulation which refuse to enforce court orders by friendly/allied nations?
Sure but thats nothing to do with anything that’s how all corpo parasite behave… They are here to make money on you, not to protect you from state actors
Swiss have one of the strongest privacy laws and Proton is pretty save to use.
This is absolutely not the case. Swiss courts compel them to act on whoever asked them for information they’ve doxed activists. https://www.theverge.com/2021/9/6/22659861/protonmail-swiss-court-order-french-climate-activist-arrest-identification

Laws don’t mean shit when it comes to national security issues and everything is a national security issue nowadays.
Also, Swiss are changinge their national security laws and proton is looking to move some servers out of there so how good these laws really are?
Proton is good for to ZK encryption that has yet to be debunked.
Iirc just reading proton’s own stories page showed that they keeled over for any and presumably every request that came their way.
