Tangentially related information... this post led me to check on how many data requests Google receives from law enforcement (internationally). The answer is about 420,000 requests in 2023 (if you take the most recent data from Q1 and Q2 2023 and double it).

    The question then becomes, how much more users does google have than proton

    I did think about this but a mail service like Proton is going to attract proportionately more attention from the authorities because its users are going to be made up primarily of people who are more privacy/security focused (perhaps with something to hide) so having user numbers is not going to be that helpful in terms of doing a comparison. Also Google has a bit of a fake account problem, and a lot of people have a Google account only to enable them to access Google services (Android, Google Docs), and some people have multiple Google accounts.
