I'm out of the loop. What happened to proton?
Firstly, the proton CEO took the position of supporting Trump by saying that "they are standing up for little people". Saying that reps are good supporters of antitrust laws.
Secondly, the official proton account replied to his post and agreed on the fact that reps are more likely to defeat big corps against monopoly. They deleted their post later. (The proton official post)
So since then we cannot stand in a corp that is promoting these people. That's why I asked about riseUP

I've only recently started using proton but knowing that, I'm out. Thanks for the heads up.
My issue was not that Andy Yen made the comment he did (as much as I disagree). My problem was the Proton account making an official statement doubling down on it.
He did make a subsequent post trying to clarify and apologize, but at this point, the cat is out of the bag, IMO. I’m switching to Tuta for email, Mullvad for VPN, and self-hosting Nextcloud for storage.
Rely on a company that is governed by this kind of CEO is not that good
And then the official proton account doubled it soo...
Sorry, I was using it since almost 6 months too but now I'm leaving.
I will go with disroot as said in other comments of this post. RiseUP seems pretty hard to get into.
