   I'm disappointed to see @protonprivacy co-founder and CEO Andy Yen shortsightedly praising the incoming US administration for “standing up for the little guys”.
   
   That said, I am glad that Proton AG's primary shareholder is now a Swiss non-profit foundation, which means the Swiss Confederation and Geneva can intervene if the foundation improperly moves away from its statutory purpose.

     You can find both the Proton AG and Proton Foundation bylaws on Geneva's registre de commerce website: https://app2.ge.ch/ecohrcinternet/
     
     Attaching the foundation's bylaws here too.

     Also worth noting that the Andy fellow doesn't even have full signing authority at Proton AG and cannot sign documents or agreements without a signature from another authorized signatory, so that's good. There's adequate oversight.
