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.
Which does what exactly? They need to be able to use the unhashed email, otherwise it wouldn't work as a recovery tool. If swiss law enforment comes knocking with a warrant, then they simply would be forced to unhash the address either way.
And they can, by receiving it unhashed if you ask to recover by using it.
It's not remotely novel. Proton already received decrypted stuff and then encrypts it all the time.
I don't think you understand how hashing works
