I keep hearing bad stuff about proton, but I don’t really get most of it. Could someone please explain all of the controversy to me. Lastly, what are the best alternatives to all of their services?

Nothing, people just hold on to the CEO bullshit take on US politics, which was said in early 2025, which is almost 2 years ago at this point.

Tldr: emotion-driven incels making a scene for a non-issue, but i can understand why bcuz USA republicans are a cancer to the world like Israel.

    ...echoed and reinforced by Proton's business account. That's not a nothingburger. Trust is a privacy company's greatest asset - and an asset easily destroyed if the company is found to have political leanings that are inherently adverse to privacy and freedom.

    Valid for certain things, but holding on to things of lesser importance doesnt make you an adult, it makes you resentful

    Ok, but you realize that 2025 was already post-election, and Trump started doing horrible shit from day 1. So if someone supported him in 2025, odds are their opinion hasn't changed much. Which makes them garbage.
