    What do US domestic politics have to do with a small Swiss company? Is there an indication that Proton would be sanctioned otherwise?

      1. Foreign companies are generally subject to U.S. tax on U.S. source income. This includes income from selling goods or services in the United States, from owning or leasing property in the United States, and from investing in U.S. securities.

      So yeah, doing business in the US, getting paid by US people, subjects them to some US regulations. Hence, they are affected by US domestic policy and politics.

        Can americans not use credit processors that reside in another country? This sounds like a non issue for proton as long as they dont market to americans.
