Has this been verified by an independent third party?
Also how do you determine there's an issue with with IP prefixes in AS 15897 Vodaphone Turkey[1], if you don't log IP addresses?

Which would that be? ;-)
I use ProtonMail myself. I kind of doubt that all their promises are true. But at least it's an entity separate from Google. A few years ago my whole Internet life somehow went through Google, from Search over Mail up to News, Discussions, Drive, YouTube... I find it creepy that when I click an article in an online shop, not even buying it, a stupid ad of it might appear for a week. Even if you agree that ads have a purpose, there is no purpose for showing me an ad for a thing that I looked at myself already!
I have no indication of ProtonMail doing anything in this direction (I see their ads only on protonmail.com), that's reason enough for me already. Also I trust them that their servers are not going to be hacked so that those contents will land on troyhunt.com.
They might be using some service that tries to access an endpoint of theirs from multiple AS across the world. Not sure if Catchpoint has a Vodafone TR endpoint.
