Sci-fi writing in here I see

EDIT: For the downvoters:

• He clearly didn’t support Trump in general, but he did praise Trump’s pick for the antitrust position.
• Proton code for the clients is opensource, so it’s not possible to add backdoors without being discovered (encryption happens in the clients).
• Proton business model is inherently disincentivizing them to do so. They are a profitable company with a clear profile that would lose so many customers if they decide to do so.
• Proton is incorporated in Switzerland, it’s unclear what the benefit would be to “appease” Trump.
• Proton is controlled by a nonprofit. In the board of this nonprofit there are people like Carissa Veliz (author of “Privacy is power”) and Tim Berners Lee. So even if Andy Yen was a full on MAGA, he still wouldn’t have autonomy to decide that. Note that he ceded control himself.
• There is absolutely nothing in the history of Proton that suggests they would be open to backdooring their software.
• There is a long track record of choices to protect users’ privacy. This also includes yearly substantial donations to nonprofits who work in this space.

If this is not enough, I don’t know what is, but for sure the baseless accusations of a random user shouldn’t be enough as well.
