    Surprised and disappointed that a Swiss company must comply with Swiss law?

    There is no company that will refuse to comply with the authorities of the country they are headquartered in.

    Proton and similar privacy focused companies at least do as much as they can to have as little data to share as possible. The emails, for instance, are not data that Proton can share no matter how insistant the law is.

    But the metadata of the account? Like the credit card you decide to pay with? That’s not encrypted and it’s absurd to think that a company will refuse to comply with the law of their country.
