~~Dude is not a "CEO"~~, hes one of five board members of the Non-Profit organization that owns Proton AG.
Edit: Yea okay hes still "CEO", but like he isn't the sole owner, or some dictator.
Yes he is. You are factually incorrect. You can see it from their official page too
Good to know, I was just going off what OP said
FYI, that user is incorrect. Yen is both the founder and CEO of Proton.
Thanks for the update! I guess I shouldn't have taken him at his screenshot
Yea, I maybe misunderstood what the non-profit structure meant. He is still "CEO", but my point was that he isn't the sole owner, or some dictator. Even if he want to start spying on people, he still needs to get other board members of the non-profit to agree.
Happy to help! This is already an important conversation and we need to be all caught up on the basics at least :)
