The move came after 404 Media published an investigation into how Proton CEO Andy Yen was aggressively pushing AI across Proton despite security concerns and the culture of fear he has created.

There’s a lot to unpack in this report. The interesting thing to me is the role of journalism in kinda-sorta keeping these chucklehead CEOs in check.

The move came after 404 Media published an investigation on Thursday, which showed how Yen was aggressively pushing AI across Proton, in some cases despite security concerns from employees.

Yen, and any smart CEO, will see the problem here is their employees talking to media. I expect that this will be used to stifle trying to get public support and other organization efforts under the guise of data loss prevention, and we’ll see less opportunities for whistleblowers to get these kinds of activities under scrutiny.
