    Their service IS private. Their service is not anonymous, and they never claim it is. Privacy does not equal anonymity, and I wish you people would get that through your thick skulls and stop criticizing someone for doing the exact same thing you would do, in their position.

        yeah, I totally believe you would go to prison for a random person. in fact, all of us are stupid enough to believe that bullshit. so noble. so principled. a true paragon.

          Originally the CEO said they would pack up and leave Switzerland if the government continued its course.

          So apparently there is more than just one option.

          Hey, I get it. When you put all your eggs in one basket you are committed. Personally I don’t commit to any corporation, especially ones that try to sell “privacy”.

            it doesn’t matter if they intend on leaving the country, until they do they still have to fulfill any legal orders they get. they can’t get an order, then decide they won’t comply, and just leave the country. it would make them fugitives, wanted in any countries that have extradition treaties with their government. you’re not an idiot, even if you’re pretending to be in the hopes that I won’t point out the obvious stupidity in your argument. so why don’t you do us both a favor and stop doing your best impression.

              Companies balk at legal orders all the time.

              Listen, you are just wrong at this point and you keep digging yourself deeper looking more and more ridiculous.

              Do you own stock in Proton or something or are you just a subscriber? Because your relentless fanboyism gets old quick.

                says the one saying Proton should fuck themselves over to earn the goodwill of some random person on the internet with more idealism and ego than sense.

                your relentless fanboyism gets old quick.

                then I suppose it’s a good thing I don’t base my self worth on what you think of me, isn’t it? if you don’t like what I’m saying, too bad. I’m going to keep pointing out your irrational nonsense, and your choices are pretty limited at stopping me from doing that, aren’t they? you can give up and walk away, or block me, but either way, the person walking away from this with their tail between their legs is you. the only question you need to be asking is how much pie do you want on your face before that happens.

                  Google, Microsoft, Apple, IBM, etc have all refused court orders and no one went to prison. Your suggestion that Proton’s administration would be immediately held criminally responsible and locked up without a trial is extremely fucking bizarre.

                  You are the worst kind of fanboi, one without any logic or common sense. A real bootlicker.

                    those are all incredibly rich corporations in a nation where immunity from crimes can be bought by donations to the right republican and democrat politicians. a nation where people who smoke weed can go to jail for life, but the bankers who knowingly broke the law and caused the 2008 financial crash can get away with no repercussions. the absolute gall you have to compare the rest of the world to the shittiest third world country cosplaying as a first world one is staggering. this may come as a shock to you, but not everywhere is as corrupt and dysfunctional as the US.

                    I almost feel bad for you at this point.
