I switched to tutanota for email and mullvad for VPN as soon as they came out as pro-trump.

Awesome. So much for “Swiss privacy” huh? Where the hell do I move from Proton? 😮💨

Tutonota is German, which is part of the already full on surveilance state.

A fair point, but it’s better than proton or especially gmail and other traditional email providers. Do you have a better alternative to suggest?

I’ll review again. Last time I looked was 3 to 4 years ago.
I’m sticking with Proton for now. If Switzerland ends up being no different than the 5 eyes, I’ll be more intent on finding a replacement.

There was never swiss privacy - “crypto ag” and Fichenaffäre for the starters

Swiss privacy and neutrality died the day they refused asylum to Snowden. The EU is just US’s little pet.

I do agree that some EU members try to get out of the hands of the US based monopoly/dictatorship, but just proposing to implement such a law is insane and proves how well the US roots are implemented in the EU.
While this is a small win, they will just circumvent and find some kind of loophole. It’s not that they don’t want to implement such a law, it’s only because they know they won’t be the only one abusing that system, because it’s to simplistic and anyone with good connections and money can just get the keys for the backdoor.
IMO it’s just a question of time before they propose a more stupid and insane law only the GOV can use. This is not a real win, more a wait and see situation…
On a final note, It’s great the EU trying to get away from US based software (eg Linux, Office…) 😊
