To be honest, this is one of those times where I would say that it’s not that bad. Can’t expect a company to outright violate the laws of the country they’re registered in, you need to be friends with Trump to do that. If they keep their shit away from all the corpo vultures and only comply with direct subpoenas, it’s probably the best we can hope for.

California company obliged by FVEY? While I appreciate their efforts, American based companies don’t exactly scream privacy respecting when they can be turned into Data Collectors under the Patriot Act.

yes but that’s kind of the point. I don’t want to deal with a company which is beholden to the law of gangsters. I might not hold it against them but also it is a huge competitive disadvantage for a privacy based product.
USA gag orders are real. Cannot trust US companies selling privacy at all.
