In an unexpected mask off “secure” email and VPN provider Proton took the stance of siding with the fascist MAGA Reps. Proton’s services are no option for me and many others any longer. Let’s collect and discuss alternatives (E2E encrypted email and VPN) here 🔐👇
Always try to provide:
-Server location (jurisdiction)
-Governance
-Integrity/trustworthiness/transparency
-User experience/ease of use (grade 1 to 10, lets take Proton as a benchmark with an 8)
-Pricing and links
If you know alternative setups, feel free to share, too.

So literally one guy can change your entire network lifestyle?
Yes? But only if it’s the guy in charge of a network service I’m buying.
I am trying to understand this too… I don’t care about the CEO’s personal opinions, so long as Proton provide the service they promised.
I’d be happy if someone would ELI5 as to why I’m wrong, I’m too lazy to switch otherwise.
A CEO/founder of a communications company praising a fascist is gonna be a major concern of a privacy focused community like this.
Proton should be doing everything they can to keep things private, since that’s they’re whole marketing strategy. Yet here they are licking the boot. That makes them untrustworthy of our data.

If yhe person running the show shows poor judgment in whose company they keep, where else have they had poor judgement?
How is this poor judgement ? You are arguing in bad-faith
That’s naive. I’m not ditching proton yet, personally, but this does shake my confidence in them.
