Do Swiss courts not allow any defence to be presented?

Yes, he has, by Virginia Giuffre.
The Epstein island orgy accusations involve the underaged, as some participants were 17 and the age of consent was 18 there.
Did anyone else read 'Manchester chip factory' and wish it was the potato sort of chip (aka fries)? 🤣
I guess on user and recipient privacy, based on where this was posted.
The popular myth is that Swiss privacy law is so strong that banks can hide gold and profits for major criminals. It wasn't to Proton's benefit to correct that.
The government is already backing local authorities York and North Yorkshire, Cornwall, Cumbria, Hertfordshire, Cheshire West and Chester as part of the Bus Franchising Pilots
Would anyone from there like to tell us how it appears to be going, please?
Well it is nothing to worry about. Nothing much you can do about these isolated random incidents other than learn general life skills like some self-defence and push the authorities to keep learning when they decide on the rules about how to handle these things. So far it seems like the rail workers did good, to put it mildly, and the police response was very swift, maybe helped by Huntingdon having an armed response police station about 500m from the rail station.
Worrying and switching from trains to cars would be irrational because of their relative general safety records meaning you're very slightly less likely to be stabbed but so much more likely to be in a bad crash.
Keep calm and carry on!
There seems to be no suggestion yet that any crime was committed on/using ProtonMail itself. Just that it was a tool to track someone accused of offline crimes. So this comment feels like misdirection because there are probably options between being liable and effectively telling the cops where users are.
They said things that led the unwary to trust they wouldn't. Remember, this isn't some terrorist mass-murderer they handed over, but apparently an anti-gentrification youth activist linked to Greta Thunberg's campaign groups.
Edit to add: in particular, Proton used to claim 'your privacy comes first' but this case suggests in reality, the Swiss government's help for French police comes first.
Tuta are also a for-profit company, aren't they? Just one that currently has better published positions than most. Use them, but make sure you keep a path to the exit door in view.
Such as...? I bet some ISPs or hardware maker companies are involved at some point.
