  • Jezus Christ, what a misleading post. This only has to do with Proton in the sense of:

    “Company doesn’t move country after information becomes public that state intelligence is as scummy as that of neighboring countries.”

    This does not imply Proton to be involved or offer assistance. This does not mean it invalidates Proton’s use of Swiss privacy as a selling point. It’s better than what you get in many countries. Sad? Sure, but that’s where we are, currently.

    Privacy on the internet can hardly ever be guaranteed, there’s just best case scenarios on an individual level. Be critical of the companies you trust with your data, obfuscate what you can, use secure connections and encryption where possible, be smart with what you share and pray you never become a target for state intelligence. That’s the most attainable level of privacy for most of us.

    These types of defamatory posts seem like personal attacks born from personal disillusionment and a flawed understanding of either the tech, the laws governing it or the political context around it.

    Lastly, if you feel passionate enough to be an activist, attack the system, not the cogs.
