I don't think it's an immediate threat, but its good to pre-emptively move just in case. I mean, Proton isn't an Amazon. They are supposed to be a privacy company. You might be able to overlook Jeff Bezos praising a republican, but not when a Privacy company does the same thing. When you claim to be morally superior (like having encryption by default, and privacy), you should be held to a higher standard than the average capitalistic company. Amazon making that statement would be somewhat normal, they are a capitalist corporate for-profit so that's to be expectwd, a non-profit, human rights group (which is what Proton practically is) making the same statement is just red flag valley.
