I am here saying Proton sucks for X and Y reason. The fact that all Proton can do is blame their users rather than develop more robust practices speaks to the opposite of what got people to buy into their ecosystem to begin with

So this is much more than their marketing. Like any corporation they suck just because they exist. As their ecosystem grows they will increase in price and enshitification will quickly set in. It is inevitable.

Finally their leadership has made so many statements that are frankly so out of touch with reality it isn't funny. I feel sorry for people that are getting taken advantage of. Proton is just another predatory lying corporation.

This story is yet another example of the damage this company has caused because of their carelessness. Instead of figuring out how not to store this information on their servers they choose to put their users at risk.

There is so much wrong with this company it isn't funny. I called Telsa and Musk several years ago as garbage and I fully believe Proton is in the same vein.
