"We would be less confidential than Google" – Proton threatens to quit Switzerland over new surveillance law
"We would be less confidential than Google" – Proton threatens to quit Switzerland over new surveillance law
where they gonna go?
Sweden or Germany would work
Both are part of 14 eyes, I'd be wary.
Sadly Sweden has a government that wants to force backdoors to encrypted services. They haven't succeeded yet, but Sweden might not be safe in the future.
All governments want this. Everywhere.
The difference is where the people allow it and they don't.
Any other country except Russia
I mean as long as you dont say anything about Putin, Russia provides the best freedom of speech
thats an interesting way of putting it lol
The law is so bad it makes Switzerland second to Russia?
Just going on whats in the article
"This revision attempts to implement something that has been deemed illegal in the EU and the United States. The only country in Europe with a roughly equivalent law is Russia," said Yen
"I think we would have no choice but to leave Switzerland," said Yen. "The law would become almost identical to the one in force today in Russia. It's an untenable situation. We would be less confidential as a company in Switzerland than Google, based in the United States. So it's impossible for our business model."
damn.
Isn't Russia known for censorship in surveillance?
The US is better than Russia and the US isn't exactly setting a high bar
