I am glad I have entered my Proton era two years ago

  Though you have to be careful if you do it for privacy reasons, because it is hands right in the honey. When you own such providers, you are easily pressured by the police or intelligence service. Refuse to comply, and they will investigate your other businesses. Accept, and investigators are way more chill when dealing with you, because they see you as an ally. It's illusion that owners in Lithuania (or as they say, "Switzerland") would refuse to collaborate, lose everything they have, and accept to go to jail for you to protect one person storing pictures of kids, or someone planning a terrorist attack. Though now with this Gemini scanning all the emails, Google can now reliably flag content at scale "to protect children / fight terrorists / flag illegal content". Before, they had to do broad keyword match and this ancient picture database matching.

    Proton complies with the law. In Switzerland, that means they may give your (encrypted) data to law enforcement. In Switzerland, law enforcement can't just ask for data without a court order. And companies don't give it willingly, either.
