Can you give an example? This is the first criticism of Proton I've heard
They can't. I've seen similar critiques popup and I'm certain it's a shill trying to move people away from proton. Why? To what end? No clue on either front.
Proton is the shiznit. They answer to no one except their customers. They are self funded with lots of help from us. They never took any money from the investment firms that would try to control how they do things usually to the detriment of quality, security, etc.
You are right that Proton is currently self-funded by its paying customers, but to be accurate, they have actually taken VC money before.
That still doesn't negate what I said and I specifically worded it the way I did for a reason. There is a difference between taking funds from an incubator that runs as a non profit and taking money from the vulture investors who demand a large chunk of the company and therefore control for the funds they inject.
Where did I say anything about the law? You clearly have an agenda and you can fuck right off with that.
I'm blocking you now because I don't have time nor do I think you would understand me or anyone else explaining this, even at a 1st grade level.
Go ahead but I'm sure I can explain in much more technical depth than you... there is a reason I'm guessing you can't even figure out how to use GnuPG so you just rely on some hosted solution to claim they are keeping you safe.
You use Chromium, don't act elitist
So you think GrapheneOS is insecure? It uses Chromium for their browser engine, which was picked because it provided more security than Firefox.
Find me a company that's going to deny a court order for $5 a month.
Proton promises privacy and security. Not collusion in whatever illegal shit you're doing.
