ProtonMail also guaranteed that "by default" it would not store any IP addresses that could be linked to users' email accounts.

They don't store IP addresses by default but when required to by law, they don't have a choice just like any other company would.

Bad OPSEC by the activist, Protons hands were tied

They actually also have an onion service: https://proton.me/tor

They should probably use the Onion-Location extension http header though, imo.

When I accessed their front page through tor,it did not auto-redirect to onion >.<, even though I have that setting enabled.
