@happy @saphire @Retreival9096 FWIW, there was more to the story than that blog included. Proton also provides their services to explicitly fascist individuals and orgs. Andy Yen stated several times that the policy of Proton is to be totally neutral “like Switzerland”; which sounds nobly professional until we remember that neutrality is why the Nazis put all the wealth they stole into Swiss banks. Neutrality may be a form of liberalism, but that usage of “liberal” does not mean “opposed to Trump/fascism”.

@Moss @saphire @Retreival9096 If I was making a decision on email provider today I am not entirely sure I would go for Proton (I think I might be giving Tuta a thorough look) but at the moment I cannot face moving it all again and yes the ethical choices Proton make could going forward prompt me to overcome my reluctance to move everything again.
