    What the actual fuck. They are not even an American company. US does really try to dismantle Europe.

      Proton AG do not depend of the European Union. It’s a Switzerland company, that snitched ecelogist activist to french intelligence. Swiss is very conservative, with a lot of disdain for foreign workforce. I don’t see any contradiction.

      • Fuck fascism and Trump supporters, but let’s stay factual on this one:

        that snitched ecelogist activist to french intelligence

        They were forced to under Swiss law. They usually appeal these things in court, but this order was given in a way, where it couldn’t be appealed. They did everything they could here, but in the end, they still have to follow legal obligations of their jurisdiction.

        I don’t think the whole company is terrible, but fuck Andy Yen. If there’s a big enough outrage, we might get him to step down.
