      It’s legit. The negative comments are because the CEO supports US Republican politicians which is a red flag, but there haven’t been any operational reasons to not trust them that I’m aware of.

        Doesn’t support republican politicians. Congratulated the anti-big-tech appointment by a republican politician (Trump).

        There are no very clear reasons to distrust proton, but is it just me that finds them releasing a 2FA app kinda disturbing? Like, why waste the resources? What could they do better than Aegis, which is already FOSS and privacy preserving? If there is no reason, than I have to wonder if the hidden reason is to get more data into their ecosystem. Which a privacy focused company shouldn’t care about.

        I am probably just paranoid but I don’t trust Proton.
