    Oh look Proton is trying to score some PR bullshit when they will comply with the law just like they comply with the laws in their country. They are a greedy corporation who sells security theatre.

      Firstly Proton is a non-profit.

      Secondly security and privacy are two different things.

      Thirdly no company, for-profit or otherwise, is going to break the law for you.

        You produmb defenders can’t even get basic facts correct.

        “Proton uses a unique hybrid model. The services are provided by a for-profit Swiss corporation called Proton AG with a primary shareholder that is non-profit.”

        So dumb it hurts, but by all means keep giving them your money. I heard they just doubled their price. Twice the price for the same stupidity.

            Oh don’t worry, I did this to Microsoft losers long ago, then Facebook, Google, Tesla, etc.

            Talking shit about garbage services and companies is just a hobby of mine. Why so many bootlickers come scurrying out though has always been a surprise to me.

      You’re the kind of guy who confuses and conflates security, privacy, and anonymity all the while somehow expecting companies to operate beyond the law.

      You can’t make this shit up. Hahahaha

        Produmb I guess. You do know they had to change their marketing material and backpedal several times already.

        They love to blame the end user for their inability to get their act together. For instance, storing credit card information on their servers when they don’t have to and if they really respected privacy they wouldn’t. They love to pay that lip service.

        I even read an article they published where they insinuated turning on logging was more beneficial than anonymity. Just plain stupid honestly.

        People who think that throwing money at a problem are welcome to play security theatre with them. Another sucker is born everyday.
