If you’re on Proton to be privacy-oriented and stop governments or corporations from accessing your data, do you really trust the company when their CEO is cozying up to an authoritarian regime? I just don’t see Proton fighting any information requests from Trump right now, and just from a utilitarian perspective that makes them a bad choice for me as a user.

Personally, I feel like their service, except for VPN, was always half assed.

• No access to SMTP for automation
• Need to use that shitty bridge to use a useful client
• No pgp encryption in their web interface when talking to people not at proton
• proton drive does not offer any useful protocol like ftp, webdav, or sftp
• Calendar and Contacts cannot be easily synchronized to phone and desktop apps

The list goes on. I have only one account left with a proton email and the letter with a code so I can change that lies on my desk.
