> But their technology, policies and the strength of Swiss privacy law [1] make them a less-ideal coöperator for the NSA than e.g. Google or Comcast. There is also another viewpoint. Since ProtonMail is non-USA company, any internet activity associated with non-US citizens isn't protected by the US Constitution when CIA et al. are in action. They can do whatever they please. Also, the background of the ProtonMail is not so clear. Many might not know as they have tried to hide it, but MIT guys have been in big part of originally writing the ProtonMail, which can be linked to CIA/NSA oversight[1]. Also, major part from the equity ownership belongs to U.S (Charles River Ventures was one of the first big funders, and this naturally happens) I also leave this interesting link here[2] (The Truth About Protonmail).
