One of the most popular privacy guarded countries, and now it's at a risk. Might as well either drop using Proton mail and find another private country and a new software. Even if just temporary, because if this law does not pass then now you have a back up encrypted email service. this experiment is a win-win. Don't lose when you find out Proton mail is no longer private at the last second act now.
I bet proton will move out of Switzerland if this becomes a law.
They have said they will move when it does.
How?
Isn't that where the humans behind the scenes live?
What if there is a situation where they just don't.
Protons CEO has said they will leave Switzerland if the law goes through.

Sounds good. still doesn't hurt to have an alternative to jump ship.
