Is this analysis of Proton’s political leaning fair? New user seeking help

Hi,

I hope this is the right tagging for the topic — I’ve been following the previous discussions here and on Reddit regarding allegations of right-wing support from Proton’s CEO and was really disappointed to see this as a recent migrated user. I found this post on r/anarchism and it seems quite well researched. But I don’t know enough about Proton’s past or political background, and while this analysis made me feel a bit more reassured, I’m still a bit uneasy and cannot make up my mind.

Proton is highly recommended on privacy guides, and as a new user, I’d love to get some feedback from people who know the company better than me. I’m still a bit concerned about this, but I don’t think other alternatives make sense for me. And in all fairness, I really admire this company and ethos.
