@Rassilon@tech.lgbt So I will answer you in good faith — once (1x). Proton started in Switzerland, but if you read their TOS (Terms of Service), they list two (2) countries: Switzerland and the United States. No other countries on earth — just those two (2). This is because Proton has opened offices and even has its own data centers now in the United States, not just Switzerland anymore. That means they now also subject to U.S. jurisdiction and why they include them in their terms of services. A corporation, much like a person, only worries about the legal jurisdictions it is subject to. For example, presuming you're not living in Korea, you likely don't care about the laws in Korea. You could sell digital services to anyone on the internet across all 200 sovereign nations, including Korea, but your Terms of Service would not typically list all 200 nations (Korea included). The only time you would generally need to worry about Korea is if you open an office there or you, yourself, were there. Proton is not an exception to this simple reality. You can live in Canada, Japan, South Korea, Australia, or New Zealand and still purchase Proton’s digital products and services. However, they do not list those countries — or any other countries — only the United States and Switzerland, because those are the jurisdictions that apply to them. @ivpn@mastodon.social
