Yeah I thought the guy from Protonmail had a good point. If they don’t comply with the law, they get shut down. They can only do their best under the circumstances.
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.

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.
That sounds like Proton Mail didn't have a choice but gave info to it's users about better protection levels anyway.
If that's correct I don't see what they could have done better that didn't result in them bing shut down/targetted.
I've seen plenty of corporate double speak that amounts to "fuck you" we are all from reddit after all, but this aint it.
