The reason I use Protonmail is that Swizerland can't be easily bullied by the US or similar countries into abusing their court system to illegally spy on people (unlike my own country).
If a Swiss judge decides that a specific individual should be surveilled, I am more inclined to trust that it is for good and legal reasons.

- idlewords 7y agoThe NSA can spy on ProtonMail without any need for bullying or diplomacy. Hosting email abroad makes it is a wide open target for US intelligence services proscribed from operating domestically.
- chmars 7y agoI have bad news for you: Switzerland is a close US ally. It is even a second-tier partner to the NSA as we know from the Snowden leaks: https://www.elmundo.es/espana/2013/10/30/5270985d63fd3d7d778b4576.html https://www.elmundo.es/espana/2013/10/30/5270985d63fd3d7d778... Geneva, the home of ProtonMail, is a major international spy hub thanks to the UN. Snowden was even working in Geneva for some time.
