I've seen several notes spreading FUD about Proton and #privacy. In my opinion, Proton does the best job of providing a complete suite of email, calendar, and VPN services that work well and make it easy for any user to switch from G suite. For me it is the right balance between privacy and convenience.

Did Proton have to collect the IP address of one of their email users because they were forced to by Swiss Authorities? Yes. Did they want to? No. Could they have refused to? No.

But before you judge, jury, and execute them, dig deeper. Find out the full story. Watch this clip from The New Oil. Nathan does a good job of explaining what happened.
