every company is legally obliged to work with law enforcement
Of course. Proton doesn’t really have a choice whether or not to fulfill law enforcement’s requests.
However, Proton absolutely does have a choice when it comes down to the scale of their cooperation with law enforcement, as well as the enthusiasm behind it.
In my opinion, in these two metrics Proton very noticeably falls behind most of their competition. That’s why I wouldn’t use it for security or privacy.
Plus - Lumo AI? Seriously? What sort of privacy-focused company invests into an AI chatbot?
It’s definitely better than GMail. Everything is. But if you want serious privacy and security… Yeah, no.

What? The scale of cooperation is defined by the law, I doubt they give happily more than they have to (even if they had more). They always write about what exactly they had to do and why, they literally can’t be more transparent. Plus the swiss law, unless it changes (which can sadly happen) does limit significantly who can compell them for cooperarion.
Oh and when it comes to Lumo, I despise all the AI shait yo be clear, but I am glad someone made something more private for those rare occasion I needed to use Llms or for my relatives who can’t simply understand that thing they talk to is just a fancy language model and they ask it very personal stuff…
