Good. Profit and privacy are mutually exclusive in this industry.
Proton is still a for-profit company and has shareholders who expect to to make money. The change is that the largest shareholder of the for-profit company is now a separate non-profit organization. It is still a positive move, but not entirely what the marketing makes it seem.
You mean record breaking profit and privacy. Edit: actually I bet drug cartels probably do both, at least some (\s)
I would imagine any privacy measures cartels take are seen as overhead more than anything else
That's roughly the opposite of what the article says.
