I unironically said this in my group chat, "proton mail is becoming more and more sketchy as being a privacy focused mail service" just like how signal is becoming more sketchy as a instant message service. There are things proton mail does such as logging activity that shouldn't be the case as a paying customer, and yet here we are. When I request privacy I want it to be private, as in don't give my data to anyone. it seems for that to happen it must be community driven and decentralized.

All these people relying on a private corporation for privacy have a serious screw loose.
Proton fully cooperates with all government requests. They are just another tech company selling "privacy" to make a buck. The only people who care are those foolish enough to give them their money.
yes. proton ceo is a fascist.
