As a company, Proton is striking me as Lawful Neutral; they have their code to live by and it will be followed. Not your code, their code. Take it or leave it.
Given the news about everyone else and their dealings... I dunno, I feel like this is a (performative?) step in the right direction overall.
I don't hate it, and it is reassuring to see this is where their development money goes as I already pay them for services, but only time will tell what their actual ethics really are. Corporates gonna corporate one way or another.
The digital world I was promised in my youth and the one I exist within as an adult are frighteningly different and I kinda hate it.
