  • Yen is an idiot yes I don’t anybody can disagree on that one.

    But he was born in 88 and while it is well known on the internet the general public doesn’t know it’s other meaning (except the Germans and maybe the American’s).

    I live in NL and I can ask around and the majority of people will not know what it means. Probably the same with 34, 69 en 420 for the matter.

    I also don’t believe that endorsing one statement means that you agree with the entire pov of the person/party, but I am not American.

    Believe what you want and the best thing is to just use a personal domain for your email


  • It’s not “his” company, the company is owned by the Proton foundation (of whatever it’s exactly called)

    Yeah Yen is an idiot, but his power is more limited than with a normal CEO company structure and the Swiss law is a lot stricter than the competitors law in like Germany.

    Just like with any of these mail servers, buy your own domain just incase the company switches gears and starts selling your data or whatnot

    I have seen that comment as well and yeah they dug themselves further. They where an idiot for doing that if they are trying to stay impartial, heck they are idiot for going into into it in the first place. Pretty sure they just have a terrible communications department.

    However, most of the world sees politics differently than the two-party system the US has and it is almost never so toxic as it is with the US. Just because you agree with one statement doesn’t mean you agree with all statements of the specific person/party. I feel like a lot of people in the US are forgetting that.

    The CEO agreed with one statement from Trump (which is often misquated as well) and doubled down on it and is generally an idiot.

    But that doesn’t mean they support Trump (or Musk). I know the US politics has been changing and removing the ability to look for compromises, but in the rest of the democtatic world agreeing with one statement from a person or party doesn’t mean you agree with their entire political agenda.

    Only use Proton with your own domain so you can switch, but there aren’t that many other good options and none of them offer the same protection the Swiss law does.
