    Jesus, I’m glad I don’t use my proton account.

    Now I’m wondering if I should switch or wait to see if he’s ousted.

    On the one hand, and least it’s a Swiss non-profit organization now that’s open sourced on the code.

    On the other hand, the CEO support JD Fucking Vance and now none of the data feels secure despite what they say about their tech.

    The most charitable interpretation is that he’s pulling an “enemy of my enemy is my friend” move, but considering Proton AG is located in Switzerland, and not the USA, that would be a profoundly stupid move since Big Tech doesn’t have the same influence in the EU as it does in the USA.

    The crypto shit was already making me wary in the first place too, though knowing Proton’s previous financial difficulties I kinda understood why they might make a paranoid decision to have a crypto back up.

    At this rate, I’m really gonna have to host my own server, aren’t I?

    I think instead I’ll wait and see if they sack him as CEO. I’ll give them 3 months to respond and decide while I start backing everything up for migration.
