Swiss Tech Company Proton Warns of Surveillance State Expansion ⚠️

Proton CEO Andy Yen has raised concerns about a proposed revision to Switzerland's surveillance law, which he says would lead to an "aggressive expansion of the surveillance state". The law would require companies like Proton, which provide secure email and messaging services, to cooperate with authorities in extracting data, potentially compromising users' privacy.

Yen says: "We will be forced to leave Switzerland if the planned revision of the surveillance law comes into force. There is no way we can comply with this law. Swiss surveillance would be much stricter than in the US and EU, and Switzerland as a location would lose its competitiveness".

Tamedia Espace AG · Andy Yen gegen Revisionsplan des Bundesrats: «Mit dieser aggressiven Überwachung müsste Proton die Schweiz verlassen»By Claudia Gnehm

I just made the switch from Gmail to Proton. I've had Gmail since 1999 (when it was still in beta). But no more. I'll be gradually moving away from using Google services. A few years ago I did the same with Apple, forwarding emails from there to Gmail. Now it all forwards to Proton.

Proton is based in Switzerland and emails on Proton are end-to-end encrypted and everything, even your calendar and contacts, are stored encrypted. Meaning, if they get served a warrant, there's really nothing they can turn over.

This is especially important in a country that is increasingly criminalizing the very existence of myself and people like me. Get your data out of the US and stored securely. It has never been more important. If not for yourself, then for the people you know.
