It's not a yes. The headline makes out that Proton told the FBI who the activist was. When the reality is all they did, per a court order from the Swiss government, was hand over receipt information. Information that of course is going to be documented because payments are taxed.
Had the Activist used a valid Crypto Currency or paid in cash (with delivery through a burnable alias) he probably wouldn't be found out.
