Proton denied all 47 requests for user data this year, making it 458 rejected since 2019, not a single one fulfilled.
FYI: Techradar earns affiliate comissions through ProtonVPN.
Few more details here
I know this is vpn not email but seems to be some sort of PR.

It can be both PR and also accurate.
“We want to first clarify that Proton did not provide any information to the FBI, the information was obtained from the Swiss justice department via MLAT,” said Proton AG’s head of communications"
Do they think people are stupid?
I just saw they did an interview recently with the Verge. Maybe trying to make up for previous bad press.
Mail and VPN have different legal requirements in Switzerland
Yes yes let’s train the public to wait for official confirmation of these things instead of using inductive reasoning based on past disclosures. That would be delightful for you wouldn’t it?
Honestly, I’m surprised it’s only 47 considering its user base and the fact that we’re already in July.
Maybe it’s unusual for any sort of authorities to advance a digital investigation to such a point where the would be able to definitively identify an IP address and a VPN provider.
47 sounds low for a month, given the US governments aggressive push to identify and punish anyone who voices an opinion not approved by Trump and his cabinet.
I suppose they don’t receive many requests because it’s already known that the answer will be no.
It’s low because most authorities are smart enough not to ask for something that doesn’t exist, given their no-log policy
