Proton is relocating their servers out of Switzerland and into Germany over privacy concerns. They are now facing the possibility of the same privacy concerns in EU countries. Ironically, the safest place to host a private VPN service may actually be USA given the way privacy-related things in the EU are going.
- 0x3f 10mo agoThe EU member states are still sovereign, though. This French court ruling doesn't really affect the prospects of certain kinds of privacy in Germany. I think the parent might have been referring to the fact they didn't raise a no-log argument, thus implying they do log. But I don't think that makes much sense either.

- jacquesm 10mo agoThe main reason for Protonmail's existence is that they are not hosted in the USA.
- CommanderData 10mo agoSwitzerland has lax laws on piracy for personal use so I'm quite surprised by this.
