i don’t disagree. i only mentioned the CIA connection because if you look it up, you will find claims. hell, you can find a bunch of claims in this very thread. it is unsurprising, as any US involvement in a privacy project makes people skeptical.
facts (that can be verified on protonmail’s own website):
proton received the funds i listed (crowdfunding, EU grants, CRV, FONGIT, possibly additional grants)
they had teams both in the US + switzerland
they receive counsel from MIT
they have openly promoted orgs who have concrete connections to the CIA
that last point is why some think they are compromised. especially because they are always on the side of the CIA. even though they claim they fight for “freedom of speech everywhere” somehow that has not included censorship which is not advantageous to the US gov’t
i will never pay for protonmail’s services because i refuse to give money to an organisation that supports CIA-backed causes. as someone who cares deeply about others, proton’s support to me is what google pulling adblock is to you.
