Proton did some PR for Trump a while ago that didn't get them on everyones good side.

Not this again...

For one, it was Andy Yen, posting on his personal rather than from Proton's account.

Second, if you follow the money, Andy Yen and Proton donates a lot of money to liberal organizations. They also campaign for Democrats actually.

The downfall of this is all because he thought Gail Slater would be a good pick and the entirety of the privacy community thought he undid all of his privacy advocacy and foundation overnight.

You really want to give your email provider your phone number. "Privacy" for instances that assemble botnets and block VPNs doesn't even include avoiding metadata collection. You guys are simply very salty and lazy that the best-advertised options are all connected to NATO intelligence agencies. Which really should be obvious to any person that hasn't thrown their intuition in the garbage due to its interference with their entertainment. You really bought the Swiss Nazi neutrality ploy, closing in on a century past its expiration date. Is this not bleak?
