When called out on it, they then doubled down on this dogshit take: https://archive.ph/quYyb

And... now I have to get out of Proton. Not USA citizen, just a leftist from South America, but not gonna accept fascism in any country, neither will I support enablers of it.

Thanks for that, that does help put things in perspective. However, I am not pleased to see proton taking political stances at all. Money corrupts and it seems they are following whats best in their interests that doesn't always reflect the users (ours) so. This is a space I'm gonna have to follow. The minute they start doing any sort of data sharing, data "personalization", ad integration, etc. That's when I'll be moving.

Very disappointing though. I just want google like services but without the spying on me by me paying.
