I hope this won't effect protonmail.
Proton is a Swiss entity, so while they may have to change how they work where a law like this is in effect, they could continue to offer the same e2e encryption for Swiss and other markets.
Obligatory warning: Protonmail offers zero protection against orders issued to Protonmail to spy on any target.
They serve you the JavaScript used for encryption, you have no way of checking whether it's the same they serve everyone else, or whether your version has a backdoor.
Exactly! I always wondered about that particular issue.
Although, if one encrypt themself their email through GPG or other means before sending it, it's almost a non issue excepting metadata (sender, receiving email address, timestamp, etc.).
