The fact that they recommend several proprietary programs, as well as Signal and a Zoom owned project. I’d understand compromising on Signal since its easy to use, but how could a service geared towards hardcore privacy enthusiast promote proprietary software.

ProtonMail is run by SiliconValley techbros that stan for cia-backed Bellingcat. Their whole brand is just leveraging Americans impression of Switzerland being a secretive country. It’s not a great company.

About Bellingcat being an arm of the CIA or that Proton supports Bellingcat or that Protonmail is run by Americans techbros that did some studies at CERN and decided to stay and leverage the Swiss brand? These are all relatively easy to google. For the Bellingcat CIA link search for GrayZone + Bellingcat. There’s some quality investigative journalism there.
