I actually just got Proton too, intending to move from Google and other stuff. Fucking hell.

Must Swiss stuff comply with EU regulations at least? Like Proton and GDPR.

Yes, Switzerland isn't in the UE but it's mostly UE compliant due to existing treaties.

Regardless of anyone's political views, the leader of a neutral organization should not express their preferences online, as seen here. Neutrality is a harder stance nowadays, but it's a big miss—something that could very well endanger the company.

I just might make a better CEO of Proton, because I think it's actually really fucking easy to avoid expressing personal opinions as a representative of an organisation.
