Unnecessary and deeply concerning bow to the new “king”
You must log in or register to comment.
They use examples of when they did pro-left actions in the apology and explanation , but they never once proclaimed with their official account support for the left, and that’s the difference.
The apology and explanation fell way short of the mark. He tried to appease the facists and alienated Proton top clients.
Proton better shut this dude up as I really don’t want to find a new platform :|
bad news, Proton’s official reddit account doubled-down on it as a company position (edit: but it was also him too)
The fuck? Way to flush the credibility they built down the drain.
Makes me feel a lot less confident about having a protonmail account. Best alternatives for privacy?
Perhaps riseup if youre an anarchist or posteo if youre willing to pay a low fee?
I use posteo myself. Its alright and reliable. Would try Riseup (kinda got political) but idk anyone to ask for an invite code
Keep in mind this is only one of five board members of the Non-Profit that owns Proton AG
still not a good look when your selling point was being outside of 5/9/14 eyes and you’re cozying up to the government of objectively the worst country, privacywise
Still a decision maker and able to convince other members though.
No one going to comment the Trump absolutely did not write that? Read it; completely coherent, proper English, all that.
Not one all caps word. No fuckin way he wrote that.
Well… The word “FAIRLY” was written in all caps.
FFS. Unfortunately there really isn’t a good alternative to Proton right now (don’t @ me about Tuta until you’ve seen how much downtime they had recently).
Yikes. I was just about to shell out for Proton VPN, but now I won’t.
I would suggest Mullvad as a trustworthy alternative.
I too can vouch for Mullvad, excellent service and privacy
Makes sense. The little guy did vote for Trump
Not with the obesity rates among the conservative base.
Yes, even obese people can vote. What’s your point? Or are you confused about the phrase? It’s not literal, FYI
ugh, gross. i just signed up for a month to try and get away from google and the rest of the us companies bending the knee. how to trust proton that they won’t give up your data the second trump asks now? time to get a refund and put it toward infomaniak sigh
I guess Andy or the proton social media team has started using the corporate bluesky account to discuss it now.
interesting that it’s deleted now
anyone got a screenshot?
Wow they really need to get in check. I do have the screenshots
Hilarious, talks about corporate Dems yet is supporting corporate Republicans. Elon Musk is arguably the face of big tech and so acting like Trump is going to ‘do something’ to big tech is also delusional. Big tech has already gotten out the checkbooks and kissed the ring down in Florida.
Oof, using the Official brand account to post shit like this? 🤨
Did the other 4 board members of his Non-Profit organization (that owns Proton AG btw) approve this, or did Andy Yen got too comfortable and see himself as a king?
Absolutely big off to post that shit from an official account. He’s not the only one working at Proton and this is not going to play well with proton users.
I’m seriously thinking about looking at alternatives. He must’ve gotten too much money now and gone republican.
I was wondering, is proton as trustworthy as everybody says? I generally dislike it because its closed source, but that makes sense considering they have to host servers. but this makes it seem… uncredible. any alternative to protonmail?
I generally dislike it because its closed source
I mean, the user clients are open source (right? correct me if I’m wrong). So if you compile it yourself, it should be safe.
So for the contents of email, drive, calandar, those things should be safe. They could secretly keep a log of metadata and IP addresses, tho. The VPN, yea that is basically just requiring trust
Also, Proton AG is now controlled by a Non-Profit organization, Andy Yen is only one of the five board members.
I just dislike that they had to take a political stance at all. Companies and celebrities should stay out of politics and focus on what they’re good at/known for.
Don’t agree completely. Celebrities are people too, they can use their voice to do good and activate people with regards to politics. Kinda cruel to just say “focus on what you’re known for, which is a pretty face. I don’t care about anything else that makes you human”
