Good. Profit and privacy are mutually exclusive in this industry.

[–] Matt@lemdro.id 16 points 2 months ago

Proton is still a for-profit company and has shareholders who expect to to make money. The change is that the largest shareholder of the for-profit company is now a separate non-profit organization. It is still a positive move, but not entirely what the marketing makes it seem.

You mean record breaking profit and privacy. Edit: actually I bet drug cartels probably do both, at least some (\s)

[–] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

I would imagine any privacy measures cartels take are seen as overhead more than anything else

That's roughly the opposite of what the article says.
