Unnecessary and deeply concerning bow to the new “king”
Update: position got backed up by an official Proton post on Mastodon, it’s an official Proton statement now. https://mastodon.social/@protonprivacy/113833073219145503
Update 2, plot-twist: they removed this response from Mastodon - seems they realize it exploded into their face!
Let’s see if he keeps Leena Khan if he’s so anti trust
Welp, the moment that it comes out that proton will be giving away everything I’ll move on, but not sure what to move to. Seemed like proton is the most secure and most user friendly, is there anything else we can use?
Nothing good is allowed to happen ever again.
As a non-american I don’t care. I will not move anywhere.
Been using their paid service for months. I have so many aliases. I’m just surprised. Surely this company knows its biggest user base has to be too educated to let this slide.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Can’t tell if > is meant as “greater than” or “can be replaced by”
Crap. Fixed it. Thanks!
There is no ethical consumption under capitalism, and that applies to tech. I pay for Proton and this is disappointing af but not shocking. Corporations and wannabe billionaires always fold to fascism.
Gonna start looking around at alternative email services to consider but I use my Proton email everywhere, so switching away is going to suck.
Ingl, I think the only way to stay sane these times is to ignore what they say and look at what they do. As long as his products are up to my standards and values, I’ll just ignore whatever he says to appease whomever
Yep… But CEOs bootlicking daddy trump is pathetic non the less…
What people define should not be doing is using Proton as one stop shop like they did with Google.
Got to stay nimble
Nonetheless is one word :)
I cannot think of a free VPN that doesn’t suck; does anyone has suggestions outside of Proton for that, please?
It is the spell check, trust me bro haha
Mullvad is is considered the gold standard but there is another that people recommend. Anybody can drop the other one?
Agreed. If I haphazardly ditched services based on the opinions of tech folks, I’d be reduced to using a pair of cans attached with string and nothing else.
Were the cans and string ethically sourced, though?
I saved them from a landfill! They smell kinda weird though.
no ethical consumption under capitalism
I agree with this as much as the next guy, but this is also kinda cope.
I take it as more of an observation and use it to be more mindful of what I buy, the services I use, etc. The reality is that we don’t know what happens behind the scenes with so much of this stuff, but we can still be conscious of it and use it as an opportunity to reduce clutter in our lives.

People don’t accidentally get on a board. The whole idea is that you actively search for and interview and even recruit people who best embody the values of your project. Then you get nominated and often voted.
Yeah, I think (hope?) we will find that his opinion is not echoed among them.
When you register a domain, you own the whole name-space of that domain:
All possible sub-domains of your domain are yours. All possible URLs on the domain are yours. All possible email addresses on the domain are yours.On your domain, you are also free to choose the linked services such as web, email calendar etc. If you are not satisfied with one provider, you are free to switch to another one at your own convenience.
If for “little guys” Proton CEO intends minors, we are cooked 🤦

He went after big tech as a punishment for fact checking the bullshit coming from his administration and his followers. That was it.
Now that all big tech has turned away from democrats (probably as punishment for their antitrust lawsuits), we will see a much different perspective from the Trump administration.
I wouldn’t say he embraced Trump, I’d say he is pro-breaking big tech, since that would probably help Proton.
Bernie Sanders even came out and said “hey, if Trump wants to cap credit card interest rates, I’m with him on that.”
Trump says a lot of shit to appeal to working class people. I don’t disagree with reminding him of what he said and holding him to those things, if he’s now going to be president.
So Proton is out.
Sorry, I won’t trust a service that licks fascist boots.
