It is not an EU based stack. Proton is Swiss and Switzerland is not in the EU.

Which was actually for me a pro argument of picking Proton. The EU has a growing need to monitor and spy on its citizens (see chat control madness). Switzerland is not perfect regarding online privacy, but even if Proton was hosted somewhere else, remember that they do encrypt (mostly) everything.

  • Another comment pointed out that proton is moving from Switzerland to two EU countries because Swiss law is getting worse.

    I think privacy services and software will soon run out of safe havens to operate from.

Close enough

  • Its close, but its not the EU. Would you describe using British services as an "all-EU stack?

    I am not saying its a bad thing. It may well be better than the EU (I do not know the current state of Swiss law).

    • >*Would you describe using British services as an "all-EU stack"?

      No, but I'd call the UK "England" without a second thought...
