I’ll start off by saying I get where the push back is coming from. I heard some of the sub-human things the CEO has said. But I’ve been looking at the competition and I’m not seeing any instant winners.
I get anger I get having morals but constantly changing emails as your main is exhausting. the features Proton offers for me have always worked and worked great.
My question is outside of being a typical CEO AI shareholder simp, has Protons security protocols lapsed ?
What other options ? Particularly ones with generous free tiers.
I’m sure this will get downvoted to hell but I need to ask …
They sponsored YouTube channels.
They sponsored a “fascist” youtube channel? You got links? I must’ve missed the news.
Or do you mean it as in “youtube is fascist” and therefore any monetary connection to youtube is fascism?
Yes fascist ones. I believe they were French. I doubt the CEO was directly involved in that. But it’s not a good look. I wouldn’t go as far as to say he’s a fascist because of that. But his comment praising Trump either makes him naive and stupid, or someone willing to cozy up to fascists. And then add the AI “don’t slow down for security concerns” scandal and baby you got a red flag stew going.

When they show you who they are… beleive them. The first time.
A phrase I love to repeat to people.
Honestly can’t tell if you’re being cheeky or not but IMO praising Trump appointees and the FBI backdoor are legitimately objectionable
