This is a good thing, but it is too much advertising proton's services
Proton is CIA and basically modern Crypto AG. https://encryp.ch/blog/disturbing-facts-about-protonmail/
The CIA-funded companies are quite easy to spot since they publically support US-backed coups out of nowhere seemingly for no reason.
Edit: here's an example. Notepad++ has a version named "Stand with Hong Kong". They were later found to have a CIA backdoor in one of their DLLs.
Proton also openly supported the HK riots, which were US backed. https://youtu.be/XoyGc41wcwc
They (Proton) are a Taiwanese company and raising money for HK riots and blogging about supporting them is extremely uncharacteristic of one. They are not willing to stick their necks out like that. They're ultra conservative when it comes to PR and marketing.
In fact, I dare anyone here to find any other Taiwanese company that did/does such a thing.
A differing view for the interest of making people decide for themselves https://brian.carnell.com/articles/2021/the-truth-about-the-truth-about-protonmail/
Very very weak attempt at debunking.
I wasn't trying to debunk your view I believe that people should be able to see two sides and decide for themselves. Sorry you got upset with that.
