All those who stop using ProtonMail after this incident - could you please describe what PM should've done differently? From what I know they received a valid/legal request from authorities in Switzerland. Since they operate under swiss jurisdiction - they had only two options: comply or cease to exist. I doubt anyone would be happier if _all_ PM equipment got seized. So it seems that they should've placed themselves (servers _and_ personnel) outside EU. Also outside USA, UK, Australia, Canada, India, Russia, China, Latin America, Saudi Arabia... There are not so many countries left. And operating in "dark web" is not helping really - physical HW has to be operated by physical people, both of which can be found by state authorities.
