I'm well aware of the foundation, and the fact that they have left him on the board with zero consequences or controls.

Stating your ethics and then not enforcing them makes the statement pointless.

If your want to be hard headed about this, that's your problem.

Yan isn't the only guy on the board of directors. The others are pretty fucking credible and knowledgeable people on the topic of privacy. They all make the decisions togetherness. And im pretty certain they'll have the last word and steer Proton in the right direction.

And again, no, it's not because they have a free tier that they'll collect and sell your private information. That goes against the core value of Proton and its directors.

Is it only me or is there some bandwagon effect on Proton hate these days?

I get it that everyone, me included, thought that sucking up to donald is a shit move, but that's about it. Proton is good.

Totally. People are exaggerating. Proton really is a good service and the only real answer to Google where you have everything under one account.

"State your ethics and then stand by them" is being hard headed?

When the above is a bar too high for you to reach, that's a you problem, mate.

Explain to me what ethics did they not enforce?

Hint: none.
