For the love of all gods, stop recommending Proton, it's run by a fascist Trump-loving cryptoscammer that hates open standards even more than Silicon Valley tech-bros. You might as well use American companies at that point.

Thatโ€™s strong accusations and the first Iโ€™m hearing of that. Do you have a source? Because the only controversy I know of is that their CEO praised Trumpโ€™s pick for attorney general for the antitrust division a bit too enthusiastically. Which is not a stellar look but that does not make him a โ€žfascist Trump-loving cryptoscammer that hates open standards.โ€œ

The only place people are throwing up the whole Proton / Trump controversy is Reddit and Lemmy. Lemmy is particularly worse. As bad as the endless scrolling of Linux praise and Windows bashing.

There's an article somewhere where someone did a deep dive and ultimately concluded that the Protons CEO views do not coincide with that of Trump or his party.
