    He clearly didn’t support Trump in general

    lie

    so it’s not possible to add backdoors

    lie

    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.

    Didn’t work on you

    Proton is incorporated in Switzerland, it’s unclear what the benefit would be to “appease” Trump.

    Straw man

    So even if Andy Yen was a full on MAGA, he still wouldn’t have autonomy to decide that.

    being a non profit and him owning enough of it to do what he wants are unrelated.

    There is absolutely nothing in the history of Proton that suggests they would be open to backdooring their software.
