Protonmail should already be illegal in the EU because they operate under swiss mass-surveilance laws and cooperate with US-American law enforcement. Both of which violates the GDPR if they do business in an EU state.

They still have access to all the unencrypted mail their users send and receive and to all the metadata of the enrypted communications.
