    So, we just believe that Proton, being buddy-buddy with Trump, isn’t going to turn around, and stab us in the backs?

    Call me “skeptical”.

      Maybe I missed something, but I haven’t seen anything to indicate that Andy/Proton likes Trump?
      They said they agreed with one decision the republican party made, and pointed out how the democrats have been prioritising corporate interests.

      But what do I know, I’m not American, so I’m not incapable of understanding nuance like most Americans on the internet seem to be.

        Andy Yen might be a CERN scientist, but he’s conpletely ignorant of US politics. I think hes just spewing his uneducatedbpolitical opinions, not necessary being pro-trump. It’s kinda concerning tho, I don’t really like a privacy service being run by an idiot (on the topic of politics, at least), not gonna switch overnight, but definitly start looking into alternatives in case he or the board goes full elon mode.

      “Here at Proton, we believe that all life is sacred, thats why we gave the IP addresses of pregnant teens who are planning to get an abortion”

      (even compiling the user client yourself won’t protect against IP logging, also, external emails arrive at proton servers in plain text)
