In an effort to stem the bleeding from the backlash about their AI usage and their CEO’s meltdown, they decide to do the exact opposite and go all in.

What the hell happened at Proton since this announcement in 2024?
“…community is the most important thing to us, and we want to ensure that Proton continues to faithfully serve the community for the next 10 years and beyond. To achieve this goal, I, as Proton’s founder, joined together by Jason Stockman (Proton’s co-founder) and Dingchao Lu (Proton’s first employee), have jointly endowed the non-profit Proton Foundation through a donation of Proton shares. These transfers and commitments from the foundation founders make the Proton Foundation the primary shareholder of Proton and make irrevocable our wish that Proton remains in perpetuity an organization that places people ahead of profits.”
It’s a PR statement. Don’t listen what people say, watch what they do. There were signs of proton not caring about security that much long before 2024.
That’s what happens when you pay a PR firm to write your blerbs.
Means nothing at the end of the day. It’s what you do, not what you say, that defines you.
I’m guessing a combination of chatbot psychosis and massive egos from their positions in the company.
