The contempt Proton is showing for their users is astounding. They not only think people will fall for this transparent act of damage control, but they also have the gall to shift blame onto the users.

Go read the comments. Obvious bots are posting praise and many critical comments are being deleted by the moderators.

    No comms professional would approve of them doing this, and no professional wrote that script. I’d put money on this coming direct from Yen or another executive.

      The guy is Proton employee #5. He used to share a desk with the CEO. Hes a high level exec and a personal friend of Andy, so yup.

      He also called his 8 coworkers who were brave enough to whistleblow “cowards.” This is exceptionally rich from Proton, which has bragged about being safe for whistleblowers to use.

      Somehow, he didnt post much more after people roasted the fuck out of him.
