It focuses on Proton because Proton is the link that purports to be secure. Nobody expects Apple or telcos to guard your identity.

I can think of one country in the whole world (Iceland) where a company can tell the country it operates from, NO.

However in this case (an operating police officer who gave information to a group who wants to split away from the country) i make a bold assumption that even Iceland would order the company to give the data out (since it has nothing to do with protecting journalists/whistleblowers, but espionage)

Are you claiming that businesses in Iceland are not required to comply with court orders? On what basis do you believe that to be true?

Doh. I read it as "a company can tell the country it operates from, Norway."

I thought "Huh? Why would an Icelandic company operate from Norway?" Well, I thought, I suppose there must be quite a few. But why's he mentioning it here?

Thanks for inadvertently clarifying.
