For context, that’s a quote from Samuel Bendahan, a Socialist member of parliament from a separate article on RTS, sharing that he shares Proton’s concerns about state overreach but dislikes the firms tactics.
Bendahan’s concerns would make sense if Proton felt like letting the government violate a little of their customer’s privacy (as a treat) while they encourage the government to please not do that. But Proton is not interested in doing that, probably believing that their customers would revolt en masse if they did.
If Bendahan doesn’t like the consequences, he should be preventing them from happening, not whining that the consequences are unjust.
