Even non-American CSPs with assets in the US would required to cooperate with US regime and affiliated oligarch gangs.

Why does Proton come off as a vapid American technology company that leverages privacy themed keywords in their PR copytext?

I say this as someone who has been using their email services for many years (I am a subscriber too).
