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?
