  They now have offices in the USA and if you look at what they say, they announce their operating under Swiss and USA law.

    Can you show me where they announce they're "operating" under US law and not just complying with US requests provided Swiss warrants?

      If you look at their terms of service, they only talk about US law and Swiss law, no matter of which version. See proton.me/de/legal/terms (German version), proton.me/legal/terms (English version)

      I am not at all an international legal expert! However I follow some legal threads elsewhere and there is no serious dissent that the legal status of Proton is, at best, hard to tell, when it comes to this issue. And perhaps can only be determined in court cases later.

      It is at this point I must abandon the replies to this, but I must say there are too many uncertainties for certain groups to fully reply on this service
