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.
