I know the CEO dug himself a pretty deep hole recently.

I had been meaning to switch all the services I currently use over to proton - but his remarks gave me pause.

Is it still worth considering?

maybe not important to some, but I was super-unpleasantly surprised a couple months ago because proton deleted my dormant account. my recovery account received a couple of warning emails (didn't check that one in ages) and when I finally got around to it, gone.

so if you're thinking of using it for anything long-term, know that you have to log in once in a while or it's gone.

Pretty sure that's just for the free tier accounts, but I could be wrong.
