I'm not sure I follow?
because the CEO of a company based on a different continent got suckered into believing Trump's campaign promises, which were mostly pretty decent... you're now doubting wherever the company he's the CEO of actually wants to monitor it's users?
I mean it was obvious that Trumps administration was gonna be spicy to say the least - but their messaging was most definitely way closer aligned to the working man vs the campaign Harrises team cooked up.
I wouldn't fault him at all, he likely just watched a Trump clip and posted his comment without any deeper meaning.
He definitely shouldn't have made that comment, but everyone makes the occasional not particularly well thought out statement... And he's a human too - and self aware enough to have other people/his employees overrule whatever he personally wants to say.
I'm not a proton user myself though. I believe the clients are the only parts that are open source, and a closed source backend thats security oriented is an oxymoron as far as I'm concerned. But I'm not particularly informed about proton either, so ymmv.
- AndroTux 1y agoIf a CEO of a company like Proton is that gullible that he falls for someone like Trump (IN 2025!), I have even less hope for my data being in secure hands. > and a closed source backend thats security oriented is an oxymoron as far as I'm concerned. Exactly. You're basically just trusting that this guy will always make the right decisions. I remember being in the same boat with Google. Don't be evil and all that.
