    I wanted to reply to your points but someone beat me to it.

    Learn to think critically. Close the app for a day, cool off and re-read all of these replies.

    Do you think we would all just dump on something for the fun of it or just to piss you off? This isnt reddit.

    Cmon man, take a second, look around and understand that the taste of boot leather is not very pleasant. Proton is not here for your privacy … I mean it is, unless you’re a french journalist … or a person of interest for the right people.

      “Learn to think critically, ignore the actual facts you put together to explicit your actual reasoning, trust the fact that if 10 people down vote you or argue with you, you must be wrong”

      I can’t see any problem with this logic.

      Yes, I think plenty of people are incompetent or just terminally online and see purity testing as a form of political activism. The fact this is not reddit doesn’t mean much.

      that the taste of boot leather is not very pleasant.

      Q.e.d.

      Let me tell you from my socialist perspective why this is absurd. Defending an organization that is an underdog in the industry, that creates product that don’t harm users, that pushes for the right values (privacy) and at the same time developed a healthy business model (no VC funding, privately owned, but also no cloud usage that reduces costs and keep the money in the EU/EEA, no delocalization) is in my interests, because it is a step in the right direction within a toxic and harmful industry. You call this boolicking? Go ahead, for me it is actually a political success if more orgs like proton succeed and outcompete big tech.

      unless you’re a french journalist … or a person of interest for the right people.

      There is no org that can defend you from the law being applied. If that organization wants to exist they have to comply with the law. In all those cases we should blame the government for abusing laws (like antiterrorism laws for that environmental activist). Also in neither of those cases (I am aware of 2) any mail data has been disclosed (IP addresses for VPN connection they have been forced to log and recovery address, respectively).

              Mental shortcut to again avoid critical thinking.

              Nothing in my comment indicates trolling. Unlike you, who dropped in with a paternalistic and insulting comment, I have elaborated every single point in good faith. However, you decided to take yet another mental shortcut and call it “mental gymnastic”, because either you can’t be bothered to, you are unable to, or unwilling to defend your own opinion.

              I will leave it at that. Hopefully you can “critically think” and draw your own conclusion about whose behavior is closer to that of a troll.
