so much for this 'protection'

The fortunes of mail and VPN provider Proton will be managed by a foundation in the future. In this way, the founders around Andy Yen want to ensure the independence and direction of their company for the future and remove it from the influence of profit-oriented shareholders.

(emphasis mine) from heise.de

and like half the shit in this blog post written by lord proton himself, andy yen, ceo, announcing that foundation.


if this (op link) is any indication of how he treats those who work for proton, this guy needs to go.. founder or not.. ceo or not.

he was already skating on the proverbial thin ice with his magat/trump support.
