ffs - first Proton, now this. I’ve never liked the idea that I have to trust my VPN, and this news raises a pretty significant trust issue. Makes me think I’ve been approaching this from the wrong angle. Anyone have experience with the TOR daemon?

This is way worse than what Yen did. This guy donated a lot of money to a party that explicitly pushes demigration policies, and if there was any doubt that this was a motivating factor for the donation, he later said he felt those policies were necessary. That’s understandable to not want to give your money to someone who you know is going to go bankroll demigration politics with some of your money. Yen praised the Republicans at large over an anti trust pick. I think the other criticisms of Proton’s policy changes are valid, and everyone has different standards for what is enough to divest from a company I guess, but I’ve heard people calling Yen a fascist sympathizer for that statement, and that’s just divorced from reality imo.
