A court record reviewed by 404 Media shows privacy-focused email provider Proton Mail handed over payment data related to a Stop Cop City email account to the Swiss government, which handed it to the FBI.
No. That’s the point. We have different ideas about what it means to help. I think help is simply doing something (or not doing something) that benefits someone else. You (and others) seem to also give it some additional qualities related to consent, agrement, or support. Since I don’t ascribe any moral judgement to the word and only use its most limited literal meaning, I hope it’s more clear to you how confusing it can be when you infer morality from amoral terms, and try to refrain from doing so in the future. Communication would be much smoother if people were more deliberately literal with their word choice.
Since they “helped” the Swiss court by following necessary Swiss law, didn’t they “help” the FBI?
If they didn’t even know the FBI was asking the Swiss courts, one could still say what they they did was “helpful” to the FBI.
don’t be pedantic. you know exactly what I meant when I said they didn’t help the FBI.

You’re being very pedantic for nothing.
Yes. It would save a lot of confusion online if people were more pedantic. One might even call it helping.
No. You’re creating debates and arguments over insignificant shit.
The two aren’t mutually exclusive.
