Protonmail.uservoice.com is supposedly "The Voice of the Proton Community". Well last week I was tracking a post that was rising rapidly to the top-most voted in the "general ideas" category. And this morning when I went to check if it was at the top yet, it's just gone without a trace. No sign that it was ever there.

I’ve caught so much vitriol on this site for the past year or two for calling out this company as being run by a shitbag.

All I have to say is I fuckin’ told you so.

    I'll happily admit that I was one of those who dismissed earlier slip-ups as "misinterpreted" and even egged on by a smear campaign. Because of Proton's former reputation.

    I should have known better. I saw the pattern and chose to look the other way. But then this came out and quickly proved me wrong. Very wrong.

    After nearly two weeks of radio silence and a complete lack of action from the Proton Foundation board, I called it quits yesterday. Cancelled my subscription, moved my custom domains to another provider, and sent an email to the Proton Foundation explaining exactly why I decided to leave and why his name is Andy.

    I hope something comes of this, but my hopes are not high. I don't trust Proton anymore.

    Also something important to note: they can read email subjects. That's something I was not aware of until very recently. Which begs the question, what else can they see that they aren't telling us?
