Fair enough. The proposed VÜPF changes suck balls.
-
Yeah Russia’s the only one who gets Proton data
-
such a large statement with such little evidence
-
Sounds like something a RUSSIAN would say /s

Wrong bogeyman here, the more worrying problem is the CEO endorsing the US republicans, seemingly (and charitably) due to the ostensibly pro-privacy policy position, ignoring all the other policy advocation attached to endorsing them or their track record of doublespeak particularly around things like privacy.

Proton is owned by an actual non-profit (not one of those fake once you have in the US) and Andy is only 1/3rd of it so he cannot really do much alone, plus he still needs to follow the objective for the non-profit otherwise he can be held personally responsible.
Personally, I live in a country where you can vote for hundreds of politicians, and we have multiple parties ruling the country and I don't believe that agreeing with one statement is enduring anybody.
Still, Andy Yen is an idiot and Proton needs some extra governance structure to keep him in check (firing him is going to be a hard one since he still owns shares IIRC). Believe what you want and choose to use Proton or not, but it doesn't help the cause for the people to be more critical without giving context.
This was said by Andy directly: https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:640/format:webp/1*9_3JV1BBIZjAYkoTDQzOlg.png This was said by Andy through Proton: https://archive.ph/quYyb And this was his later comment from his own account: https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:720/format:webp/1*Pz-ct2LGRpxWdKsHSZu1Rg.png

Yeah I’m not buying any excuses. One supports trump, one gets the fuck out.
-
That was a verrry disappointing and tone deaf comment from him, yeah. He could have said that neither party is committed to Proton's values and been done with it, instead he kissed the ring.
-
That’s what I said - Russia, GOP… no difference
-
-
Would you mind elaborating?
-
No so does France. Proton helped convict a French environmental activist by providing the courts full access to their private proton account.

Proton nor Tuta nor anybody else is above the law, you can read independant reports on the matter https://scroll.in/article/1084862/why-a-court-ban-on-encrypted-email-service-proton-mail-has-sparked-digital-privacy-fears or Proton's own post about it https://proton.me/blog/climate-activist-arrest
But I don't believe that their entire account was shared with the police, but if that actually did happen and you have a proper source for it I gotta think to move my mail after all, so could you please share with the class where you read this?

Proton AI never makes sense in the first place.
Not a single soul asked for it, waste of company resources.
This is how I feel. I’m not really okay with the money I pay getting used to develop ML and crypto BS.
Developing more slop AI but still no Linux drive client.
