ProtonMail is headed up by a CEO willing to tow the MAGA line when expedient, and then retreat from it and claim it was misinterpreted when called out on it.

This is probably not the service you want to be using if you want to avoid the mad king in orange.
I’ll be honest, the story was so skewed I’m almost convinced it’s paid anti-privacy propaganda.
Guy is consistently anti-Trump, donates to left wing causes and did so for many years, but has 1 tweet that “appeared to favor” the Republican party (which he made clear was not the intent), so he’s apparently MAGA now. It’s hilarious.
Somehow doing hundreds anti-Republican things and sharing 1 opinion that “appeared” to be pro-Republican (and clarifying it was not!!) makes someone’s MAGA.
If that’s the threshold then given everything else he’s doing he might as well be the “leader of Antifa”.
I’ve been using Tutamail for over a year now and I can definitely recommend it. It’s Germany based, the company works more like a coop, and they care a lot about fairness/equality/sustainability.
I mean the apps are open source no? ‘All Proton apps are open source and have been independently audited and verified by third-party experts. Anyone can see and verify that our apps do what we claim.’
This whole thing seams shady at best. I was considering proton but will move on to other options. If the CEO openly expresses him this way it means that the company got his back and he trusts they are there. It’s not a coincidence. The cats out of the bag.
What’s out of the bag? His projects with Lina Khan? His donations to “woke” left wing causes? His anti-Trump statements?
Oh the one anti-big tech tweet that can be misconstrued as being pro-Republican. No then everything else doesn’t matter, that’s the only thing that determines his political affiliation.
Also please ignore he clarified what he meant and nobody arguing in good faith would keep claiming that 1 Tweet was pro-Trump, let alone the guy is.
For anyone reading that doesn’t know the story: Trump appointed an anti-big tech person to lead an anti-trust department (probably by accident), proving even a broken clock is right once. Proton CEO tweeted he liked the appointment, because of course the Proton CEO is anti-big tech.Then everyone started saying it somehow makes the Proton CEO MAGA, despite him being consistently anti-MAGA.
Anyhoo, there are other alternatives where we don’t have to have these discussions or thoughts of who meant what.
I’d rather go with them and have peace of mind. Thanks.
I just moved everything to proton 🤧 so I pray this is okay for now. Im not paying them anyway so idk lol whats a good alt?
There are other ones, but proton was the one that resembled google the most. Sucks. Hope you’re right
