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?

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.
You people are going to hate me for thid but it’s not a privacy concern if they block piracy domains ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Cool.
In other news, Swiss law makers claim opening and reading all mail sent to make sure it doesn’t include the phrase “monty bojangles” is “not a privacy concern”
My point is that in order to block a specific domain, you necessarily need to check it against a list of all legitimate domains being accessed
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.
Yeah. The word really just breaks down to, “having been noticed widely.”
