    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.
