Comment on Europe is ready to ditch US tech for private alternatives
bourrelier@jlai.lu 5 hours agoHi ! I’m switching away from US tech. I started using the proton solutions. Do you have something against this company ? It’s a genuine question.
I see a lot of options from European companies and being based in Switzerland and having encryption. Proton seemed to be a good way to start.

The Proton CEO Andy Yen tweeted support for Trump’s Department of Justice pick last year and a shitstorm suddenly appeared.
It was a pretty tone-deaf tweet, but it most certainly doesn’t mean that Proton or its CEO support the Trump regime.
Below is an article analyzing the entire episode, and before that a direct quote from the article if you want to get the basic idea with out reading the entire thing…
“However, being disillusioned with one party on one issue doesn’t mean that all of a sudden Andy Yen changed all of his stances and that now he’s actually pro-Republican or pro-MAGA. All of the evidence gathered suggests the exact opposite.”
