Unlike Big Tech, Proton will not comply with subpoenas from the incoming Trump administration (just like we refused all subpoenas from the Biden administration), as it would be illegal under Article 271 of the Swiss criminal code.

@Infoseepage Our CEO also stated the above himself: https://x.com/andyyen/status/1864672128580083926
It's also worth noting Proton is controlled by a non-profit foundation based in neutral Switzerland, and not by any specific individuals.

The foundation has majority voting power in the company.

@protonprivacy @Infoseepage Having lived in Switzerland myself for a long time, "Swiss Neutrality" is nothing but a marketing stunt for not having to take a position while remaining in a position to selling themselves to just basically any well-paying asshole in the world. Please stop selling your Swissness to us, it't pathetic. #Proton #Ukraine #RussianOligarchMoney #TheListGoesOn
