I genuinely don't remember the exact instances we were speaking about, but it happens from time to team. They released data from a French citizen to Swiss & French authorities in the past, and I'm sure this isn't the only case.

Maybe not the contribution that you're looking for, but going to tell you this story regardless.

I am Swiss, and am a former Department of Foreign Affairs (FDFA / EDA) employee. My colleagues and I had organized an evening on cybersecurity, where we showcase what Switzerland has to offer. I invited stakeholders such as:

  • Dreamlab (really cool company, should look them up if you don't know of them)
  • NCSC (Swiss National Cyber Security Center)
  • Some Swiss cyber regulator; and
  • Proton

Firstly, when speaking to a delegate of one of the above listed (don't feel comfortably sharing publicly which one), he ushered a statement; upon me saying I'm a huge Proton fan and subscribed to all services - "they are lying to your faces".

I was curious, so I spoke with the regulators and NCSC delegates, they said that Proton has been involved in a handful of leaks - some that were made public, some behind the scenes.

When I spoke to Andy, having told him that I grew up in Canada, I asked him what his plan was for North America. His response: "I will gladly take their money, but never open up shop there - too many national security departments that come knocking on the door".

Now I see that (on the Proton page), that they are looking for a few US based positions for Marketing and Growth - going against what we discussed a few years back. In all honesty, I still have a Plus subscription with them, but beginning to questions a lot more things regarding security and ethics at Proton. Guess I'll just self-host in the future. Trust no one but yourself with your personal data.

Let's say UK, since it was filmed there for example. I mean surely the Airbnb owners have a good case right?

Thanks, yes - this is what I was looking for. Just thinking from a Airbnb renter perspective, such a stunt would drop the value of the property + service fees such as changing the mattresses etc.

So you're saying I can remove it and stab again??

 

That's an interesting angle to look at it from, never considered that - good point.

Once again pulling the oldest card in thr book with the antisemitism. It's not antisemitic to not condone racial and ethic genocide.

Israel loves, and has been very successful in, playing the victim. Reality is, however, that a victim doesn't send >1000 rockets into a tightly packed state with women and children everyday.
