@VileLasagna @b00tl00ps @nixCraft I am so happy to see someone else talk about them peddling far-right ideologies. I started to not like them because I feel like they've become too big for their own good. I also feel like they over represent the value of being based in Switzerland.

But I didn't feel that bad jumping ship on Proton when I found out that their CEO supports Trump. If I'm already going to go out of my way to use services like Proton, I'm not going to put up with them being evil.

Yeah, when that came along I was already on "do not engage" but my first political warning sign with them was regarding their election freedom promotional stunt thingie where they offered a few days of free services around elections for countries with "compromised democracies" and their source is just a right wing think tank with all of the usual red flags you'd expect from a right wing weirdos assessing "political freedom" of different countries

@VileLasagna @b00tl00ps I feel like they could have been so good if they would have stayed politically neutral and focused on a very small subset of products.

I think them having a VPN exposes a lot of customer data because it means that you're giving them your real IP address. So that's why I use a VPN that's not connected to anything else or any PII.
