MODERATORS
They have also been purging messages on the ProtonMail subreddit which they control. The community-controlled alternatives like ProtonPublic have been unaffected.
I deleted my Proton account back when this started and it seems like that was the right move. This company is fucked.
Is it fucked? Or it it about to become one of the most successful companies in the world, given the apparent requirement to be terrible and exploitive in order to be a giant company.
I don't think people were joining Proton because it was giant or the most successful...
