Andy Yen's values are incompatible with Proton's mission. He advocates for poor security practices, supports fascists, and he verbally abuses his subordinates. As such, I can no longer in good conscience continue to financially support a company with such terrible leadership.
Unfortunately for me, my subscription just renewed last month on a multi year plan, but it does give me time to browse for and experiment with alternatives.
If you're able, I encourage you to do the same and cite Andy Yen as the driving factor for your decision. We can't let these tech bro fascists destroy what little semblance of privacy we have left.
Never trusted Proton and was getting a lot of criticism whenever I mentioned it. Glad I trusted my instincts.
Yea, the amount of people that were sucking off proton when the mullvad shit hit the fan a couple months back was insane. Apparently proton's brand of fascist leadership is fine. If you tried to point it out, you were brigaded with proton fans trying to "debunk" you.
I did say it could be worse...and now it is worse. Hooray.
(This is just meant as dark humor.)
