Doesn't look like they're only for profit, I guess. 🤔
As a service that offers totally anonymous and totally free public access to their projects without even mandatory KYC, they are one of the rare gems. 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 🤷

@nemo@mas.to It does not change the fact that they are not as private as they claim to be. That is appealing to virtue. Charity and privacy are different things. We are talking about privacy right now and that just seems like a distraction. Even if proton is doing good things, it does not change the fact that they claim to be private but add AI features which are the antithesis of privacy.
