This was such a devastating article, we trusted you proton

Can anyone even imagine a company that cares about its customers anymore?

Unacceptable behavior of Andy Yen. I cancelled my family subscription because of him.

I really hope Andy pays attention to this forum as much as he pays attention to Reddit. FYI there is not amount of "prompting better" that can make a good CEO. He needs to be fired ASAP he violated the trust for this entire community. I've spent years migrating my business to Proton and will now cancel. Congrats on ensuring you will NOT reach your growth objectives Andy.

I'm with Proton because I won't deal with ******* tech bros in AI psychosis. Andy Yen needs to step down and Proton must restore and secure it's core values for the future.

Registered under simplelogin because I don't think people like this need to know my Protonmail account. I need an email service that is safe, and I'm incredibly disappointed that Proton may no longer be one. Treat your people better, give your customers a service that works, and stop with this AI stuff.

As a Visionary member, software engineer and people leader, this article was horrifying to read. I support the petition and expect whistleblowers to be protected. There should be a vote of no confidence put forward, especially on the foundation side. There’s no way we should expect him to hold a position of trust on the board.

Cancelling my subscription this weekend while I figure out where to migrate to. This is beyond disappointing.

However, if butler and yen are fired, that could be forgivable then; I want to support their employees, but not this embarrassment of executives.

I am deeply shocked and saddened to learn about what has been going on recently at Proton.

Andy Yen needs to address this and make a public statement apologising for how employees have been treated. No employee should ever feel intimidate and belittled or afraid to speak up about their concerns, particularly when it comes to security and quality of products that millions of people rely on! I joined proton for its reputation around security privacy and trust.

Any Yen needs to listen about concerns of his employees and the wider public and take accountability.

I look forward to hearing a public apology from Andy Yen.

CEOs don't bully or intimidate. They should listen and take note about concerns seriously and work with their teams to make better products.

Termination within one month if you do not resign. The mental health of our employees is non-negotiable.

I don't see a path forward with Proton now.

Jumped in from Google 2 month ago, can't a tech company simply be normal ? I want secured e-mail coded with care, not rushed on the order of a tech-bro AI-loving CEO

I am deeply shocked and disappointed. Regarding the article from 404 Media: If a developer finds it necessary to pentest new code for at least a few days before pushing it live, there is surely a good reason for doing so! I must therefore assume that, moving forward, untested AI-Slopified and potentially unsafe code will make its way into the production. That is a rather damning realization for a company who advertises with "privacy and freedom." I have COMPLETELY LOST ALL TRUST in Proton, and as I have already stated on Reddit, will definitely not be renewing my subscription.

I already cancelled my subscription in the light of the recent revelations. Proton needs to do a lot to restore respect and trust, and Andy is certainly not fit for that job.

My subscription renews soon. I will cancel it if there is no positive development.

Looking for alternatives, hope he is fired before I find one.

I will follow how Proton's policy and leadership are presented in the coming weeks. If there's no change, I'm leaving Proton for good.

I will follow this development closely now, daily. If not resolved within a week I will cancel next payment.

Respectfully, Andy, you lost a lot of ground here. The vase of trust has cracks - put your ego on the altar before it’s too late.

Please do not kill Proton in the “pursuit of AI.” It is an important platform, if anything bring in someone who can align AI Ethics so your codebase doesn’t become an unsustainable mess.

You can still do the right thing. Do not become the thing you hate. Remember why you are here.

You don't understand your users, you mistreat your employees. It's unnacceptable, time to leave.
