Heres the issue with Proton's marketing that no one is mentioning. The CEO keeps making claims about "Swiss law" as if it is something to be desired. However he never adds any citations to the relevant laws or their interpretation. This seems strange because #1 How many Proton customers know anything about Swiss law (how many can even read German or French^1) and #2 The CEO is not a lawyer, he is a physicist.

It seems prudent that Proton customers would want to have a look at those "Swiss laws" (a) to see what sort of protection they offer and (b) to make sure they dont violate one. In the case of (b) the customer will potentially lose all privacy protections, as emphasized in this announcement.

1 It appears that Swiss law is conveniently published in English however the English translation is not what Swiss courts use.
