    Let’s try not to miss the forest for the trees here. Proton has done an incredible amount of work in the privacy realm over the last decade. And the product hasn’t changed. Would be a shame to throw all that away because the CEO has some shitty opinions about who is responsible for that. Andy is not a tech billionaire. He’s not the enemy.

      I would’ve thought so too, since he’s only 1 of 5 board members, but then he started posting from the company official social media profiles so i guess it’s the opinion of the company too, unless they say otherwise later

        This is my hope. If not because he’s wrong, then because it’s just plain stupid for him to get involved in such a capacity.

        They did delete the posts, at least. Not great but at least an acknowledgement that maybe this isn’t a good look for the company.

          To me the response just reads like they hired a PR crisis firm. Good move, fixes nothing.
