I think he is talking about the CEOs blog post, where he does not make that clear and absolutely creates the impression that the French activist received a notification. It even sounds like that you get a notification as soon as somebody just requests it, even if PM declines / fights it. [0]
> Under Swiss law, it is obligatory for a user to be notified if a third party makes a request for their private data and such data is to be used in a criminal proceeding.
People will read this and the majority will think there is some kind of notification as soon as that happens. I mean, users here on HN thought that.
Only if you click the link, the one that you shared, then you'll know that there are multiple situations where that notification will be delayed.
I think that is actually the worst part about the whole situation so far. One can argue that they should've made the potential logging more clear right under their no logs marketing. But pretty much doing the same stunt again with the notification, does feel a bit like intent... or stupidity.
