Just some advice for all of you affected by this.

Begin demanding a response from the ownership of this company.

"Is this Message approved by your board, and owners"

Just leaving doesnt make a difference, and some of you in the comments bought services right before this. That fucking sucks.

We dont have journalists and media on our side to help any more(arguably we never did, but that's a separate discussion)

I think there are still good bones in Proton, but you know where at least one piece cancer is, and its in the worst spot. Demand as stakeholders that they remove the cancer or admit its not going to happen. Repeat your messages until they publicy respond as a company not just the head of it.

Its a shame if you dont do at least as much as expressing that they owe you an explanation and that you need the company as a whole, to why this had happened

This is a betrayal to many of you, tell them exactly what they need to do

Good luck. It only takes one of you to suceed and we all win

Well, that's a platform I'm leaving now.

Regrading Update 2, maybe the other board members can push his guy out? I'm paid for to the end of the year, so I'll wait it out a bit. I'd rather not jump ship, only to have that ship also go pro fascist too.

He does realize that Big Tech loves trump, right?

Gotta kiss the new king's ass so he doesn't go after you.

Embracing politicians... 🤦

the rich got so unbelievably rich and the poor became so insignificant / invisible that these few people in the middle think they're the "little guys"

wake the fuck up

OK let me add fuel to the fire. here in Andy's response he says the tweet was from last year which is technically true but it was from December 2024.

Also how can he think that Trump stands for little guys when he has elon musk as his pet monkey

Does anyone have links to the dumpster fire of a reddit thread in one or the Proton subs? There was also one of r/privacy but I can't find either so suspect they've been deleted to try to quell the flames.

Hmm... is Tuta still good these days?

Damn, this sucks. I fled Google for Proton and use it for email, files, and my own domain email.

well this makes me slightly less fomo'd after going for tuta and mullvad- but i'm probably jinxing it rn ;-;

I’m not sure what’s worse, kissing the ring or taking that Trump post seriously. He obviously did not write it, and he also obviously only makes statements like this to threaten others and secure their loyalty. Here we are a month later, and some of the richest tech bros in the country are expected at his inauguration.

These CEOs really don't want the average people to like them.

Self hosting is better these days.

Hypothetically, if Hitler saved a child from being hit by a car would you publicly sing Hitlers praises and be happy to make positive quotes about it?

Does being on the right side of a single issue negate everything else?

I was just going to start my de-google to Proton. Time for a new plan.
