The CEO of Proton is pro-Trump.
https://theintercept.com/2025/01/28/proton-mail-andy-yen-trump-republicans/
Seeing Proton on the list so many times got me thinking. We let Google take over all of our services, and then they got worse and worse. Is there some system in place to stop Proton enshittifying once they've taken over the internet? Especially in light of the CEO apparently being an asswad.
Hasn’t this been debunked?

This doesn't change the CEO using an official proton account to praise trump and call him the GOP the party of the little guy. I don't care about their real ideological opinion, but rather whether they're going to gargle fascist balls and betray privacy. Trust is a fragile thing
Edit:a word
fuck
