      I have seen Proton as a sponsor once or twice and I don’t have any complains about the products they are selling.

        The “privacy” service that gobbled on orange fascist knob from Switzerland? With their public accounts?

        Yeah. Nothing sketchy behind that choice.

          I truly don’t know how someone could continue to trust a privacy focused company that was explicitly pro any leader.

          Them being an absolute moron hasn’t affected the product for me or my experience with the rest of the company.

          If I would stop using any and old company that had some bullshit owner, some bullshit thing done in the past or done currently I would basically have nothing I can use. The moment the opionins of him will start to impact the product I am out, but considering there is a foundation above the company which means he has a limited amount of impact I will wait and see before I act.

            The problem with this logic is that it can be impacting the product without you being aware, especially security and disclosure aspects.

              Luckly for us there are laws and other security measures in place to help prevent it. At least Proton is under a loop now, other options are probably just as bad but we don’t know about it
