The problem I see with this article, is that 3 of his chosen options rely on Swiss companies. And Switzerland is most definitely not the EU. For the time being their interest are very much aligned with the EU (and logically so, from a geographical and economic standpoint), but Switzerland also has a history of happily changing sides when their "neutrality" or their financial interests are at stake. Their historical dependency on finance (and their shady practices), combined with a high dependence on US trade, and high financial investments in the US make them particularly vulnerable to economical and financial blackmailing by the US. For a case-in-point, see the particularly weak response (or "diplomatic" response, staying charitable..) of Karin Keller-Sutter to the Trump developments, in a bid to hopefully avoid tariffs. Therefore, companies obeying Swiss laws simply do not offer the same "privacy" guarantee as companies obeying EU law. Secondarily, putting your trust in a company who's CEO openly supports the Republican party is, in the current context, very questionable. No matter the Proton PR denials and clean-up attempts after the facts.
