One of the most important developments is the introduction of premium plans. It was developed by a team of research students from MIT and Harvard, headed by Harvard PhD candidate and CERN researcher Andy Yen, and was initially crowdfunded by a wildly successful IndieGoGo campaign. However, Andy Yen's claims that he would rather leave Switzerland than comply with the BÜPF are certainly coming back to haunt him. It's worth noting that ProtonVPN is not affected by the same legislation, and as such, is unaffected by the invasive surveillance laws that bind ProtonMail. This is absolutely shattering for the company's reputation, but it was forced to comply with Swiss legislation, handing over date of account creation information. And again following a request to Swiss authorities from Europol in relation to an Extinction Rebellion activist under investigation. ProtonMail has recently come under fire for handing over user information to Swiss authorities not once, but twice! First, after someone used multiple ProtonMail accounts to send death threats to well-known immunologist Anthony Fauci. Handing user information over to Swiss authorities
