Revision of Swiss surveillance law VÜPF would directly target VPN & encrypted chat and email providers based in Switzerland.

    One of the most popular privacy guarded countries, and now it’s at a risk. Might as well either drop using Proton mail and find another private country and a new software. Even if just temporary, because if this law does not pass then now you have a back up encrypted email service. this experiment is a win-win. Don’t lose when you find out Proton mail is no longer private at the last second act now.

      I bet proton will move out of Switzerland if this becomes a law.

        Isn’t that where the humans behind the scenes live?

          Protons CEO has said they will leave Switzerland if the law goes through.

            Sounds good. still doesn’t hurt to have an alternative to jump ship.
