Okay, so the CEO of Proton didn’t pass your purity test, I get it. But you know which CEOs also suck? The CEO of Google and the CEO of Microsoft. How can we expect secure and private alternatives to these ecosystems to flourish if we are constantly engaged in infighting? We will get nowhere if we reject every service that is short of perfect. Let’s keep our eyes on the bigger picture here.
Another hot take: I suspect that at least some of the hate directed at Proton is a smear campaign by some state actor who wants to see private online platforms fail.


Do you seriously think that a conversation means one party can ignore whatever they’re incapable of answering and misdirect by calling out points that haven’t been made?
Since you’re not willing to have an actual conversation, I’ll choose to block you and discuss the issue with adults. It works somewhat like choosing a business to be a customer of. If I don’t agree with the direction they’re going in, I stop using their services.
