Thanks for the link. I was about to extend my Proton mail subscription to the full monty, but backed out when I saw the original incriminating post (which did surprise me, based on what I thought I knew about them). The writeup does offer a compelling argument for that one post having been taken a little too far in todays tribal political environment.

Yeah. I am not ready to move to Proton quite yet, but this doesn't feel like it was intended the way many Americans are reading it. They also have posts like this (not from the an executive I think, but official) that don't sound like getting in bed with the government: https://proton.me/blog/trump-controls-nsa-fbi

All that is to say, I am planning to give this a little longer and see what else happens, but I have not ruled out Proton yet.
