Because of legal uncertainty around Swiss government proposals to introduce mass surveillance — proposals that have been outlawed in the EU — Proton is moving most of its physical infrastructure out of Switzerland. Lumo will be the first product to move.
Uhhhhh as far as I can tell none of that legislation has passed. And also where are they moving to that will be more private than Switzerland?
And aren’t there similar proposals in the EU anyway?
On the one hand it seems a good thing they are willing to move their hardware and the data on it, on the other hand it makes be a pretty bad way to lose your credibility because moving people’s data around will always leave you with customers who think you made the wrong decision. Or the right one, but too soon or too late. I think they understand what’s at stake though.
Yeah it seems like it’s something they wanted to do anyway, maybe to drop operating expenses, and they are using those regulations as an excuse.
