@ohir @malwaretech "There is no way to resistance in many countries. You can complain on merit." ...My point is that it seems they relied on the Swiss government to do the resistance and judge the merit. The point of a "Resistance lawsuit" is to complain on merit. (Also, ProtonMail both makes income, and kind of makes the argument that Swiss companies *cannot* share information with foreign law enforcement under criminal penalty [ https://proton.me/blog/switzerland ]. They're doing this reveal of information as a "Loophole" to their own privacy marketing. At the minimum, this is a bad look for P.R. purposes.)

@ohir @malwaretech Like, Uber doesn't make the claim that you can get privacy in Uber, but Proton *specifically* said this on that web site: "Strong privacy protections: Switzerland has a constitutional right to privacy and strict data protection laws. Unlike companies in other countries, Proton cannot be compelled by foreign or Swiss authorities to engage in bulk surveillance." That's a major reason they say "This is why we're Switzerland-based.". And here? Here they are "Loopholing" that whole statement.

@AT1ST @malwaretech > Swiss companies *cannot* share information with foreign law enforcement under criminal penalty True. You can not sell your customer data without a warrant from the Swiss authorities. Thats why Swiss bankers got so insanely rich. They can not be compelled to be customer watchers, then a valid warrant must have had a valid warrant subject.
