Proton has said again and again, if you practice good OPSEC, there is nothing we can hand over when forced by gov.
"This situation serves as a critical reminder of the importance of maintaining stringent OPSEC (operational security). One should always be aware of the potential vulnerabilities that come with linking recovery information or secondary services (like Apple accounts) that may not have the same privacy safeguards as a primary encrypted email service."
