Thank you for sharing your blog post and the link to the article on Medium. I 100% agree with you when you say that “the mission of taking away power from Big Tech is more important than purity testing on social media, so any person who drops Google in favor of Proton (or Tuta, etc.) is a political win”.
I agree on the hoard -bash or bandwagoning where, already, too often on lemmy someone shits on proton because they saw others who pointed out “why it’s bad”, and then they feel the need to also say it’s bad without informed decision making or further explaining (because they can’t).
Like you, and hopefully others, I read through this privacy policy enough to where I felt I could trust the company and it’s services. Unless there is hard evidence to the contrary, I won’t be abandoning the platform.
For anyone else who’ll comment on this, you’re entitled to your opinions, but I won’t be listening to any arguments as to why I’m wrong for liking or supporting Proton.

The CEO of Proton publicly supported Trump in a tweet.
I’m moving to another service as soon as my current subscription ends.
That’s bad news. Can you share the original tweet? Thanks
He praised the choice trump made for the antitrust office back in December.
I have written my opinion on why this was way overblown, if you are interested.
