There was no misinformation put out by PIA. However, I, the co founder of PIA, did in fact link to facts showing that ProtonVPN was a Lithuanian company with the director being the same director as the director of Tesonet and NordVPN.
I also did point out that the ProtonVPN android app was signed by Tesonet.
This was all done on a hacker news thread. Not reddit - and one time.
I simply wanted people to be aware of this, so I said it once, since ProtonVPN is supposed to be a privacy company.
For doing this, I have been slandered and defamed and called names by Proton since.
- protonmail 8y agoProtonVPN AG is a Swiss company owned by Proton Technologies AG, the Swiss company behind ProtonMail. The Proton entity in Lithuania is also controlled by ProtonMail.
- rasengan 8y agoIf it is now controlled by you then that is a great first step. Thank you for taking this serious.
- protonmail 8y agoWe have always had control over the Proton brands. Proton has just two outside investors, FONGIT and CRV, and neither has anywhere near a controlling interest. We do take your concerns seriously though, and will aim for even more transparency.
