Does Proton really support Trump? A deeper analysis (and surprising findings) (medium.com)

I heard people claim for some time that Proton supports the Trump administration. I've only ever really seen the claim made based on a single tweet.

This person did a pretty deep dive and comes to the conclusion that they don't, nor does their CEO.

I'm not saying I know what's in that guy's head, nor do I want to. But I'm wary of coming to an extreme conclusion about someone because of a couple of sentences that person wrote online.

I think they were meaning the case when they were handing over information to the french authorities for an investigation about a journalist. but I can't blame them for that, they do not stand above the law. if they didn't comply they would have been sued or shut down

Oh, was that the one where they handed over just an IP address because that's all they had?

yeah I think.

but to be fair that's not all they have. as I know mail titles are not encrypted either, maybe attachments too but not sure about that.
