Seems that the Swiss legislature may pass a law requiring ProtonVPN to start banning certain domains from being access by French users (mostly illegal sports streaming sites)
For those using ProtonVPN, is the writing on the wall?

I don’t know if it’s the same law but they’ve already said they’d move countries, anywhere with laws suitable for the service
Would they really though? Being in Switzerland is a huge part of their brand and marketing.
The only reason it’s part of their branding because Switzerland is notoriously respectful of privacy. If they stop being that then that’s no longer a selling point.
But this has nothing against privacy just piracy.
Privacy is what protects you against criminal charges or being banned by your ISP
You people are going to hate me for thid but it’s not a privacy concern if they block piracy domains ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It absolutely is.
Why “notoriously” though?
I don’t know how to answer that.
I believe “notorious” is used in negative contexts, and was curious why Switzerland being respectful of privacy would be a bad thing.
no, that’s not what notorious means. It just means a lot of people know about it.
From Merriam-Webster:
You skipped the first definition.
