Is it proactive? Sometimes doing nothing can be helpful to someone.

Nobody disagrees with what the literal events were. It just seems like some people feel like helping the FBI collect evidence against a suspect is a bad thing, and don't want to frame Proton that way.

That's crazy of course. Proton never sold itself as a tool to protect criminals. Nobody want's them to be that. They need to comply with all legal requests for information. That's what they're supposed to do.

If they didn't they'd be shut down. And the rest of us would loose the reasonable privacy protection we want and they offer. That would be very bad.
