@nemo@mas.to Local AI still processes your data including usage patterns, context, device patterns, etc. If proton claims to be private then why add AI in the first place. Most people who look for private alternatives avoid services with AI. Proton right now seems to be acting like it cares more about profits. They are marketing privacy to generate profits. They seem to be a big tech lite or google lite.

They aren't perfect and of course have had their fair share of controversies, but I think they've learned from their mistakes and try to act in good faith as much as possible without becoming illegal. One doesn't have to abide by their ecosystem; one can create for any single service they offer a completely anonymous, compartmentalized account and access all of them via Tor. They have also cool tutorials and a banger Youtube channel 🤷
