Proton CEO Andy Yen gave a surprisingly sharp interview to the Swiss magazine “watson” (source in German: https://www.watson.ch/digital/wirtschaft/517198902-proton-schweiz-chef-andy-yen-zum-ausbau-der-staatlichen-ueberwachung). He warned that Proton might leave Switzerland if new surveillance laws are passed, which aligns with the company’s strong pro-privacy stance. So far, nothing unexpected.
However, Yen’s remarks about Swiss officials - describing them as lifelong bureaucrats, all lazy, and incompetent - came across as arrogant and out of place, almost like something you’d expect from a capitalism praising Trump supporter. he also was quoted in the interview, that the US works better (so they consider to move there?).
The interview left me speechless, and I’m certain I won’t be considering Proton for any of my future projects
To be clear, the proton bridge is supposed to be accessed via localhost. Connecting via IMAP over a network connection is less secure.
I don’t think I ever said otherwise but thanks for the details.
