Proton has ties to Israel. What's a safe alternative?

MODERATORS
I responded to the aspects of your argument that weren't personal attacks. Personal attacks, yes, I am not interested in.
''Industry standard'' doesn't mean anything. Government surveillance and everything this sub stands against is ''industry standard''. Just because everyone's doing it doesn't mean it's a good thing.
I ''singled out'' Proton because it was the VPN I used the most prior. I'm not sure why that's a problem.
Are you able to discuss things based on criticisms of logical reasoning and evidence, or are you going to continue to respond with personal attacks? I am open to critique.
