Proton are very open about what they do and don't provide.
They're not going to protect you and they will turn on you the second they get a letter in the mail or a text from the cops.
But what they DO provide is the ability to register an email address (with a domain that isn't blocked by most services) without providing any other information. And, from there, you can encrypt it yourself if it is a particularly sensitive message.
As for IP logging? if only there were tools like VPNs and Tor to negate that.
In most cases, they fight tooth and nail and use their own lawyers if necessary
Did they in this case?
