I moved from Gmail to ProtonMail exactly because they were promising strong encryption, no logging of IPs and no data leaked outside for whatever reason.
I know that every IT company eventually turns into a bunch of creepy and greedy jerks that end up contradicting all of their initial "don't be evil" statements. But please, Proton, don't do this so early in the process. I'm tired of migrating from one jerk company to a we-are-not-jerks-yet company all the time. If it turns out that Proton really leaked the IP and device info of an activist to the authorities I'll just go back to setting up my own mail server like it's 1995 and f*ck all this madness.
