    If you operate in a country, you have to abide by the laws of it. Swiss laws are quite good if not the best ones, when it comes to privacy topics. This, however, does not protect you from criminal investigators fighting crime. And things like observing individuals is not done lightly, and needs the approval from courts.

    So it you are a criminal and think you can break laws and just hide by using encrypted services, well, think again.

      Yes sure, completely ignore the 2nd point and focus on the example I even said was literally just the first search results.

      Also to be clear, in not against using them or even recommending them, but I think there are better alternatives out there, and people seem to just default to recommending proton. Then again who knows, maybe it’s good that we got a de-facto default recommendation/alternative to the big-tech offerings.

        If you didn’t think it was a good point, you shouldn’t have presented it.

        Oh, I should focus on the point, where even you said you have no idea what exactly happened. Proton yadda yadda Trump yadda yadda bad.

        I’ll just leave this here to give some context. Enjoy.
