I am fairly law abiding except for when it comes to the intersection of a vehicle and a heavy pedal.

But

Configuring logging on a user's IP address information on a private email service for what appears to be a fairly petty crime seems rather like dropping a nuke on an ant, both on the side of the French/Europol LE, and also for Swiss authorities, and then Swiss companies to be responsive to something so petty.

For something this "Organizing a Climate Camp" [1] involved I'd expect at least a serious felony, or a dramatic terrorist incident with loss of life.

If the crimes involved are truly so minor, it raises the spectre of what would they do for an actual serious crime?

I hope I am misreading this......
