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.

This is unfortunate and is a really bad PR move. It feels too big tech.

Even if Andy Yen were actually right about everything, and it's his company, it's just more bad PR.

I think Andy Yen is probably a logic and math genius who needs to hire an emotional intelligence coach or a PR advisor or something. High IQ does not always mean high emotional intelligence and it's better to accept when you don't have both.

Alternatively, perhaps some evil government has forced Yen to install a universal back door, there's an order saying he can't disclose this, and so he's acting strange to try to warn users the only way he can. If I'm right about this, I hope he makes the background of proton.me bright green. He can always deny reading this if he does that.
