I am LOVING Proton’s new AI, Lumo! Are there any concerns I need to take with Proton as a company? Heard something recently about them getting fashy.

The Proton CEO has said multiple times how much he admires Trump—and this is after he started displaying his fashy colors. He might care about privacy, but I can’t trust him not to sell me out if his favorite celebrities “ask nicely.”
Edit: And they just recently censored journalists “by accident”: https://theintercept.com/2025/09/12/proton-mail-journalist-accounts-suspended/
Thank you for clarifying! That’s what I was wondering about. You answered it. Much appreciated.
Also note that this is now the second time (that I’m aware of) where they’ve censored or helped to silence journalists or activists.

They basically did the equivalent of a YouTube takedown and left it to the affected people to show why they shouldn’t have their accounts suspended, rather than doing the reasonable thing of making the original claimants prove why the victims should have their accounts suspended. It’s decisions and actions like these that make me wary of the company.
This is misinformation.
Alright. I leave it to you to show where I’ve made a mistake in my assessment. I’ll change my tune if you provide a compelling case.
Yeah, reinterpretation of some lines with context removed.
Wow, what a great service. Definitely a bastion of privacy.
