    This wouldn’t have anything to do with US internet restrictions would it? Like how multiple states place age verification on porn sites? Like how more restrictions would pop up in a MAGA admin to keep it “safe”.

    That wouldn’t benefit Proton at all now would it? They don’t serve a product that would circumvent those restrictions right? A product they sell?

        The privacy vulnerability in a VPN service is the VPN provider. There have always been suspicions that some of these companies are involved with state agencies and you’ve got Proton’s CEO kissing the fascist ring, figure it out.

          It’s not impossible, but it’s challenging to imagine that this news directly impacts the guarantees they claim. In a space like this all they have is reputation and respect. They’ve lost respect today, but I don’t see this as a ding to reputation personally.

            “What possible benefit would a tech corporation have in collaborating with the incoming fascists that have allied with technocratic figures like Musk and Thiel??? They sell privacy!”

            Bro you just straight up need to either be more paranoid or not bother with things like VPNs in the first place, pick a lane!
