    Thanks for the sanity. I’d also add this quote:

    “The law would become almost identical to the one in force today in Russia. It’s an untenable situation. We would be less confidential as a company in Switzerland than Google, based in the United States. So it’s impossible for our business model.”

    I think people read the headline and think he said they could operate in Russia when he clearly says they do not. Unfortunately he doesn’t say which countries he would even consider moving the business to.

      Probably because they have no idea where they’d move at this stage. Every year an encryption backdoor is proposed in the EU. The EU is not far behind the US when it comes to mass surveillance and the destruction of privacy.
