Yeah, but Romanian taxpayers can profit from it by (for example) using ProtonMail. This is only possible IF the project survives.
I find the nation state important, but to "put it back" into the Internet is a huge mistake!
- protonmail 8y agoIt is also an untrue statement. Romania is a net recipient of EU funds, while Switzerland gives more money into the EU than it receives. So actually, the opposite is true. Swiss taxpayers are contributing to Romania ;-)
- pergadad 8y agoBetter not spread such nonsense. The numbers shared in other places in this thread just don't show the whole picture. Switzerland benefits in many both financial and other ways from the partnership with the EU countries (from more tourism to a seat at the table to access to many opportunities in research and more that would otherwise be closed).
