You don’t need that: Proton will only surrender accounts/information to local authorities with the appropriate paperwork - and that’s their selling point on privacy, swiss law being pretty protective of privacy ; in this case, a corpus of evidence has been submitted by a recognized foreign entity & considered valid for action in regard to swiss law.

That’s what makes proton secure for journalists, political opponents and such: no swiss judge will enable any random dictator to get a dissident’s info, it won’t fly with swiss law. And if that escalates to bogus criminal charges, it is still up to a swiss judge to decide how and if to proceed.

You put your trust in Switzerland here, not in a nerdy business with an atom-smashing background.

They won’t and supposedly can’t turn over information from or about the account, but they’ll absolutely close the account for engaging in illegal activity since that is a breach of their terms of service (depending on activity, of course. Complaining about the government? Probably won’t get shut down. Hacking someone to steal something valuable? They’re shutting you down).

LoL! One would be insane to trust the Swiss after the Crypto AG business. Wouldn’t be surprised at all if 5/9/14 eyes alliance clandestinely own or even directly run Proton, LoL.

What’s wrong with both Tuta and Proton? I’m by no means involved in any crime or anything, but I degooglefied and moved to Tuta for mail. Was considering self hosting, but I’ve been procrastinating it.
