Damage control?
Damage control for what
I assume they are referring to the CEO getting all hot and heavy with Trump in the company’s official messaging.
Wtf☠️
Their unilateral support for the orange nazi. Before someone says it’s blown out of proportion let me say this. The CEO of Proton stated his personal beliefs, then doubled down via Official Proton Accounts aka: supporting the orange nazi is unironically their political stance now.
No damage control, just their yearly charity raffle that anyone who’s been with them more than a year knows about.
It’s not “damage control”, they’ve been doing this sort of thing for many years.
Hey that’s cool!
If your current ceo is still in place when it’s time for me to renew, I’m gone.
Posteo and Mullvad ftw
Great tip! Thanks!
Why them? Are their CEOs anti-Trump?
I don’t think anti-trump is a strict requirement.
Not publicly and directly messaging a known rapist and convicted felon to let him know you think he’s doing a good job “standing up for the little guy” would probably suffice.
Mullvad is amazing. Never tried Posteo.
What have I missed? Who is the CEO and what did they do?

Thanks, was seriously considering Proton mail. Think I’m just going to set up my own mail server.
set up my own mail server.
Unless you are like a very skilled computer expert, don’t.
Use an encrypted mail provider + custom domain.
I just set up one on Tuta (#NotSponsored), and bought a two year for a .com domain.
I don’t know coding, I suck at most techy things. I managed to set it up by just… following instructions.
Register domain + Payment.
Go to Tuta, get premium plan.
Go to Tuta’s settings, set up Custom Domain.
Copy Paste all the DNS configuration stuff.
Voila, easy.
If Tuta goes rogues, I’d find another one, change settings.
If domain registar goes bad, I’d transfer it to another one.
TLDR: You’re better off just using a mail provider + Custom Domain
Think I’m just going to set up my own mail server.
Don’t, it’s not worth it for a multitude of reasons.
I’ve been with them since the beginning, and they’ve been doing donations like this for years as part of their annual raffles.
Ehh acting just like another corpo…
I bet those endless ads they shove up my ass as paying customer is also andy’s idea.
No, i don’t need your entire product line up. I bought what I need, leave me the fuck alone Andy… aint you got some orange man’s dick to suck?
Disgusting
1000%
actions >> words
Edit: I’d rather a guy that loves Trump, but is accepting in person and spends their time volunteering on the weekend, than a self-proclaimed leftist that spends their time criticizing everyone while not doing shit about anything, and using their politics to justify their stealing habit. The former can be reasoned with. The latter is just using leftism as an excuse.
Preferring a theoretical instance of a person over a contrived (though admittedly occasionally real) example makes for a good soundbite, not necessarily a real option though.
Or more succinctly, a literal trump loving person who is also accepting is a unicorn with some serious cognitive dissonance.
A “radical” leftist who is also a shitty person is a real thing that can exist.
Comparisons between real things and imaginary things, aren’t good comparisons.
Edit : where did “stealing habit” come from I can’t find any reference anywhere else? Genuine question, I may have missed it.
I guess he is talking about “handouts”.
Norway taxes the oil industry in 78% so they can give “handouts” to their people…that miserable country of thieves…
Radical leftism made Norway one of the worst countries in the world to live in.
(/s…because it’s necessary.)
Ah, that tracks.
I’ll wait and see if they reply, maybe it’s something else.
Totally agree.
Fuck that fascist dickhead.
Oh for sure.
Damn, I came here to post this, I just got the email now. I laughed as soon as I saw it, it’s so obviously damage control. The whole email is “Oooh, look at us, we’re truly good, nothing of note has happened lately other than us being good and doing good things!”
laughed as soon as I saw it, it’s so obviously damage control.
I guess you see what you want to see.
They do this every year. It is not related to their recent US politics drama, and its not damage control.
It’s kinda nice to see how many new people proton has reached though, people that clearly only been using it for a few months. Their marketing clearly works and helps get people off google and Microsoft.
And I don’t think they hurt the non-profit foundation as much as they think by closing their free accounts that are subsidised by us paying users.
