Apologies, I misread your comment and though you said protonvpn was untrustworthy. I'm not a VPN user so I'm not up to date with the rep of any of them, but I am a proton mail user so I was worried about the technical integrity of one of their products
No worries. As mentioned, I trust Proton at the moment because they are regularly audited, and as far as I know, the audits have always upheld the claims Proton has for things like no logging, actual e2ee encryption on their emails, etc...
That doesn't mean I like or agree with Yen's comments, but the truth is, there is no ethical consumption in capitalism. I could switch to some other vpn and a different mail server, but it's likely to just be another problematic company with problematic people.
