Please remember something very important everyone: The company may have changed its policy, but the company that made the policy hasn't changed. The people that made the bad decisions are still in charge, and the priorities that made them make that decision are still the same. They haven't changed.
This is relevant not just for Proton, but about every time company pretends to step back from a bad decision.
The way they interpret bad press is never, "my idea is bad." Instead, they think, "my idea was misunderstood."
So until the people change, they same kinda of policies will continue to be pushed until they stumble upon a way to present it that doesn't generate loud resistance.
Absolutely, these people only care about the "image", they'll say anything without changing anything
