He keeps saying some sketchy MAGA shit and keeps taking every opportunity he can to advocate for moving out of Switzerland, instead of working to keep Switzerland’s laws privacy-focused.
Keeps saying? Any source or link? Are you aware of anything else besides that tweet?
keeps taking every opportunity he can to advocate for moving out of Switzerland,
He is not advocating to move out. He is clearly saying that he would be forced to IF the law passes because the whole reasons to advocate for being in Switzerland would be no more.
Which brings us to the next point…
instead of working to keep Switzerland’s laws privacy-focused
How can you not see his statements as a way (The Way for him) to apply pressure on the government, which is exactly what he should be doing to “keep Switzerland’s laws privacy-focused”?
How else would you imagine he would “work” to keep laws privacy-focused? He is not in parliament, so bringing media attention and threatening to move a relatively big company seems the best way to me. What would be your idea?
While I also do not like what he’s been saying recently, this time he’s actually right. If you read the article, he’s saying Switzerland trying to enact laws that will force VPNs to collect and store user data will be akin to what Russia is doing. And that Proton can’t operate in a country that does that and they will have to move.
In this one specific instance, he’s found a good excuse, but with how much he’s been advocating moving out of Switzerland instead of working to keep the laws privacy focused (seriously his answer to damn near any issues besides “when is proton drive for Linux coming?” Is “move out of Switzerland”)I have concerns, especially with maga shit he doubles down on.
First of all, he’s not a politician, and not a member of the government. He can ask for shit, but he can’t “work to keep” things how they are.
Second of all, this isn’t up for debate or public consideration. That isn’t how the Swiss government works. Unless they decide not to do it, it’s already a done deal. There’s no way for the public to prevent this unless the politicians suddenly change their mind. There’s no “working to keep” to be done.
Dude is trying anything he can to move proton to a country where he can sell the user data, I suspect.
So he complains about laws that would make privacy worse and your take is that he wants to sell data.
Your “suspicion” is based on…?

Ah, the age old, vibe based “trust me, bro”.
What every corporation that has grown too big has done. Not this guy though! I gave him my money so he is okay. Produmb.
