Do you have sources for all of this?!
Tired. In auto-pilot mode for the last 3 hours.
Part of it is based on the OpenPGP standard itself, e.g. you only need the passphrase to decrypt your emails, not to encrypt them and certainly not to change your settings.
Part of it is based on experience.
Part of it actually needs a few sources; the Lavabit part is speculative but solid, there are bread crumbs all over the web.
So no sources, noted.
I mean I couldn't find a lot of the other things but I do know the climate activist one is verifiable.

Make no mistake: any company that wants to operate above board, be it a VPN provider, a privacy-focused mail provider or whatever, always has to comply with the local law. If the "local" happens to be an oppressive regime like the US, tough luck... even in Switzerland if their gov forces a company to comply with something they will comply. Proton's no exception.
