I read the entire interview, and while it was a browser translation, I didn't get the same sense from it as OP. It reads to me like standard commentary from someone who works in secure services.
The comment about the US was more about the fact that they wouldn't have the same obligations to expose users or implement backdoors as what this regulation is asking, and that's true. The US is still (thankfully) supportive of E2EE services. How long that lasts is unknown, but it is still nonetheless true right now.
And calling the politicians lazy bureaucrats, etc.? I call Democrats stuff like that all the time.
He's said some other potentially problematic things, depending on how you read them, but this seems pretty innocuous and in line with what I'd expect from someone in his position.
I'll never understand the hate boner people on the internet have for this guy.
I'm using Proton and considering divesting. What are good alternatives without US ties?
I don't think there's any all-in-one services like Proton. !PurchaseWithPurpose@lemmy.world has a few suggestions, https://european-alternatives.eu/ has others. You'll likely have to piecemeal things if you had the full Proton suite.
I'm only using the email though so it is not a hard transition.
Then Tuta or Mailbox.org are often recommended. I use Tuta + Addy.io to give me a bunch of aliases, though if you pay for one of the mail services, they both give you a number of aliases, too.
Such a shame to see what seemed like a great alternative to Gmail under such management.
