The guy went on a lobbying trip to DC and was heard by GOP folks and not dems. So what? That's all we know. Were dems busy that day? Did he try a different approach when he talked to the right. Anyone can go to DC and be heard or ignored on a lobbying trip.
Also, the content creator of the video was not vetted for sponsorship because they don't usually do that. They admitted fault and are changing procedures to appropriately vet moving forward. I think their marketing team might even be external. Also, fascists never admit fault or accept accountability.
This sounds like big tech doesn't want competition. You've seen google prevent side loading, and do a ton of shady things at this point. Why not a smear campaign too?
Thus guy might be a raging fascist dickhead for all I know. I'm just pointing out that the supposed evidence falls short and proves nothing.

Concerns I see are that Proton encourages you to import spam from your last account
-
They were lobbying in the US (there are good reasons to do that though)
-
They send your gmail notifications that you have new Proton emails along with details of that email if you use your old gmail as a recovery while transitioning - just use a different recovery email
None of those actual concerns have anything to do with far right ideologies.
Company "accidentally" gave money to the far-right French YouTuber Vincent Lapierre.
They seem to keep being pro far right and then when they are called out on it, they back track.
But from a purely security standpoint, proton is not a good product either, if court documents and FBI collaboration are any indication.
You mean them comply with court order that go through swiss legal system? They not go to jail for you by break law in switzerland. Have to comply.
Zero-trust mean you not need to trust. That the whole idea. Even if comply will not get any of content. The thing outside zero-trust (recovery email, account setting, payment info, maybe some metadata but not know) are able to reveal and will if legal forced. But think they have notice about on website, if not then maybe mislead.
If a company has no data on its customers then they can be in full compliance with law enforcement and still share nothing.
Again, the choice is your to ignore the issues and keep using it.
How identify which customer try to use their profile without any data? Need at least username.
And this what proton do. Minimal amount of data to use. If not please point out.
Yes, but you also not specify which issue keep you from using. Except for vague "security issue".
Check out mullvad as an example of a company gathering zero data on customers and legally providing law enforcement with zero data.
