I also saw reports that Proton has divulged some private information to at least one government entity.
Please go read about the facts of that. All they handed over was the recovery email address. And they didn't just hand it over on demand, it was complying with a court order and after their own lawyers had made sure that what they had requested was legal under Swiss law. It is the same as every company operating anywhere in the world is legally required to do. Every company has to comply with a legal court order issued against them in the country they're operating and those courts only issue those orders if the alleged offence committed is illegal in that court's country. And as Proton cannot see files, email contents, or any other personal information related to users' accounts, that information cannot be shared with authorities on request. Literally the only thing Proton can see is a recovery email address.

The absence of a linux client is exactly what the CEO is complaining about. The lazy ass luddite programmers at proton are causing the company to fail.
In the password manager space, 1Password is eating their lunch with AI integrations that protonpass can only dream about.
Honestly at this point if AI spits out a Proton Drive linux client in the next couple of months it kind of proves the CEO's point given that his programming team still haven't done over 2 years later despite several unofficial clients using rsync being released.

The CEO literally just said thinking about security is "loser thinking" and that "perception is more important than truth" -- if it were my money and my stuff, I would've dropped all of their services like a hot potato.
Loser thinking is dropping everything at the drop of a hat based on nothing more than one article written by somebody nobody has heard of on a fringe website.

Obviously. But it is the most extremely stupid way to do it because you are going to lose everybody that you actually critically need. Some immediately, some when they see the whole company has gone to shit. And these people usually have no trouble finding jobs where they get treated better.
All the WFH proponents on Slashdot are always making the case they are Super, Ultra, Mega productive and would be missed terribly if they took their homework elsewhere. Even the ones admitting their awesome productivity affords them time during work hours to get their laundry done, zip off to the grocery and walk the family pooch are essential to the company's utter survival.
I, however, am sick of calls going unreturned to the voicemail void, sending emails that apparently go to

China, India and AI data centers are the cause of all of this. But the little people of the world will be told to not use their air con or drive personal autos.

Biting the hand that feeds them.
They'll bitch about lack of tax revenue and want to raise taxes (again) once all the data centers are being built in North Dakota or BFE.
Ha ha!
Oh my sweet summer child you really believe that the tech companies pay taxes on those data centers?

I guess old Boomer types think department of war is awesome since they don't have to worry about being drafted anymore. And God knows they could care less about their kids.
The very youngest Boomers are 62-63 years old at this point. Most Boomer's kids are well past the draft age. Give it a rest.

the company is now monitoring all traffic and paging security if live internet access is detected.
Unfortunately by the time it's detected that and someone has blocked the internet access the damage may already have been done given the speed these models work and the bandwidth they have available to them.

Like I suspected. You have no knowledge of history. Or rather, selectively choose to ignore the parts that don't confirm your worldview.
Once Mooslums get to be about 5-10% of the population in any place, bad things happen due to them.
