I keep hearing bad stuff about proton, but I don’t really get most of it. Could someone please explain all of the controversy to me. Lastly, what are the best alternatives to all of their services?

Proton is Israel's bitch.

Wait, what? They are dealing/ having contracts with Israel companies or its government?

There are internet blacklists, several dozen, purportedly for scammers, and Israel is dropping their critics on them, and proton takes it at face value, with no appeal option.

Plus the US gave them lists of accounts to deleted and they did. They are bitches.
