Summary
Proton Mail, known for its privacy-first email services, faced backlash after CEO Andy Yen praised the Republican Party and its antitrust stance.
The company initially posted and deleted a statement supporting Yen’s comments, later claiming an “internal miscommunication” and reiterating its political neutrality.
Critics question Proton’s impartiality, particularly as it cooperates with Swiss authorities on legal data requests.
Privacy advocates warn that political alignments could undermine trust, especially for Proton’s users—journalists and activists wary of government surveillance under administrations like Trump’s.
You should open an history book or at least a good one.
Geography didn’t do anything. Switzerland would collapse in a day and many there were not against Nazi.
Nazi didn’t invade because they needed Switzerland to finance their regime. It was an economical decision.
Myth about WWII are legion like Austria being a victim (Austria was actually happy to be part of the Reich).
