Proton uses a trustless architecture. End-to-end encryption and zero access encryption means we cannot decrypt your messages and hand them over to governments.

Your privacy is mathematically ensured, and no election can change that.

@protonprivacy yeah, but your CEO has been making statements in support of a right-wing authoritarian government, so…?

@thisismissem @protonprivacy please Proton, stay neutral... and thanks for being an alternative for those who value privacy

@rrapio @protonprivacy that's the thing, they haven't stayed neutral, and that's the concerning thing.

@thisismissem @protonprivacy yes, I know... I'm concerned too. I'm asking them to review their stance and stay neutral from now on.

@rrapio @protonprivacy yeah, definitely disappointing to see as a business customer, where my business is one that angers the right-wing conservative types.

Has me thinking about if I need to migrate away.

@thisismissem @rrapio @protonprivacy

That's for you to decide. But Tuta is a nice alternative. Uses green energy only, contrary to Proton.

I use Fastmail myself because of the amazing interface, interoperability and functionality. It's not E2E encrypted though.

@rrapio @thisismissem @protonprivacy

It is too late for me.

I can not financially support anymore a company which CEO have made any statement in favour of a fascist.

@rrapio @thisismissem @protonprivacy
The only way to show they're serious about that is to fire their CEO.

"When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time," to paraphrase Maya Angelou.

@jargoggles @thisismissem @protonprivacy that's a good point, it's hard to believe him after that. Something to think about...

@thisismissem
I'll take this further and say that they didn't stay neutral and they shouldn't, but they left that neutral point and went to the wrong side.

I'm arguing that as being “neutral” is still supporting a status quo, which is bad in itself.

Proton, in theory, should be on the anti-authoritarian side of that “neutral”, by doing what it aims to do, provide privacy and personal security.

@rrapio @protonprivacy

@dzwiedziu @thisismissem @protonprivacy it depends on what you expect from a service or a company. I believe neutrality is possible and even desirable for the companies that provide services and that build products for me. What I mean by being neutral is "you're a company, you shouldn't have an opinion". I'd go as far to say that distancing private corporations from public discourse and politics might be the most urgent need of our times.
