Proton serves privacy, not anonymity. They will not collect, harvest, analyse or sell your data. If you however use their services for illegal things they will forward whatever - usually little - unencrypted information they have about you.

I'm surprised people would expect them to behave differently. Do they expect Proton to not comply with lawful warrants?
