    Ah alright. I personally don’t care that much about the CEOs political opinions as long as that isn’t reflected in the business itself.

    I had to look for more information on the IP logging thing since I didn’t know much about it. https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2021/09/privacy-focused-protonmail-provided-a-users-ip-address-to-authorities/

    Personally I don’t think it’s that bad. It was absolutely misleading but not a lie.

    I mostly care about no logging policies when it comes to VPN and as long as the content of the emails are encrypted/not logged, I don’t mind that much.

      That CEO is the same guy that’s going to decide when and when not to sell your data. That is the CEO who’s boot licking and courting governments for favors and won’t think twice about selling you down the river.

      Based on his Twitter affirmations, If Trump said hey I want you to give me the data on this guy disable is encryption without him knowing it and give it to me he wouldn’t even bat an eye.

      That’s not who I want protecting my data

      Starlink is great in rural areas, still feels uncomfortable to using their service even if that’s your only choice.

      (Luckily, I live in the city and don’t have to rely on a nazi’s internet)

      I’m not saying Andy Yen is necessarily a nazi, its just the right wing libertarian vibes is so unconfortable.

      I think you absolutely should care about the political opinions of the CEO considering it’s a private company and the CEO most likely gets to dictate the political leaning of the company. It’s not like Twitter turned to shit simply because Musk bought it. It turned to shit because (among other things) Musk made business decisions based on his political opinions.

      You could argue you don’t need to care because their political opinions aren’t influencing their business right now, but don’t you think it might be a bit too late to care when the business starts to reflect the politics of the CEO? For example if tomorrow Trumps wants to know the contents of your email and the CEO decides to appease Trump you might start to care about the political h

        I will cross that road when there is a good reason to do that. I simply won’t switch just because of someone’s opinions that don’t affect me. I don’t have time for that shit.
