Haven’t heard much from EFF or Proton on their happy applause for anti trans policies.

Did see their CEO put his penis in a blender by making a statement of support for a Trump antitrust appointee, made a bunch of alt-right talking points and then issue more of the same on the official Proton social media labeled as an official statement. He then started a personal account on Reddit with a binary version of 88 (Heil Hitler) at the end.

Then again, when you support fascists for making the trains run on time, you are in fact supporting the fascists overall. Neutrality in times such as these is not neutrality and they made an active show of support.

Proton AG set up a non-profit foundation and endowed it with shares and keep intimating that this somehow keeps them in check, but Andy and one other early employee both sit on the board and it isn't clear the foundation has anything like a controlling interest, just that it's the largest single shareholder. Seems like Proton AG still might be able to overrule the Proton Foundation board.

I've got a bunch of client accounts as well as personal stuff hosted with them, so this has been a big shit on my already shit filled week, but I'm looking at alternatives right now.

They're also a member of five eyes. I'd rather look at European alternatives in non fourteen eyes countries as a default position for all my clients.
