> And yes, I would say an order from Swiss courts that was unappealable is an extreme criminal case. Anything that could threaten Protonmail qualifies.

So before this case, if I told you is someone in France trespassing enough for ProtonMail to log and provide IP, you would say sure?

My point is that this is not what most people would expect by reading extreme criminal case. If it's not what they expect, it is thus misleading.

I also wouldn't even agree that this is an extreme criminal case. What an non extreme one then? This is not an exception, this is simply a criminal case. It clearly doesn't need to be extreme to allow them to get the IP.
