Gab has decided to ignore demands from the German government they believe conflict with US law and are unreasonably censorious and probably will get the service banned in Germany.
Protonmail is a Swiss company and isn't obligated to comply with US law. Everyone and every company makes their choice.
The FBI don't serve their demands to Protonmail directly, they make a request through the Swiss authorities who make the demand on their behalf, representing the swiss government. It's the joy of globalism.
Right, but Gab would not ignore having to comply with US law, which is what happened to Protonmail. They were complying with a request from Swiss authorities, which there is no reasonable way to ignore.
My point being that you do not ignore the laws of the country you are based in and continue operating. It just doesn't happen. The only way to avoid it is to flee to a country with less strict laws.

This is what Interpol is (being used) "for", ja?
