Proton Mail’s core product isn’t really technology; it’s •trust•.
And with a few rash words, their CEO has severely damaged that core product.
Yes, it was only a few words — but what else do we have to go on? If they’re doing something shady behind closed doors, we won't know about it under until far, far too late. The best we can do is just assume that where there’s smoke there’s fire.
