They’ll say anything just to distract their users away from them being caught red handed in the act of giving away their data to the governments all around the world.

Classic business marketing.

I kinda want to read more into it before I move all my services from Proton, do you have some links?

And do you have an alternative I can use?

I’ve been following this on X/Twitter and I think one of the most egregious things that’s important to point out is that folks from Phrack reached out to Proton in private multiple times, and Proton ghosted them. Proton only engaged with them and then reinstated the accounts after Phrack went public and their X/Twitter post went viral.

It also looks like one of the writers filed an appeal with Proton and Proton denied the appeal, so they manually investigated the incident and refused to reinstate the account and then only did after this got attention on X/Twitter.
