Proton is likely a honeypot. Investigate Andy Yen. He was not at CERN, when Protonmail started.
Same pattern as Signal.

Interesting, I use protonmail….
I also used it for a long time. However research the history of their beginning especially Andy Yen. They tell it was invented at CERN, but Yen was in the USA at that time. Nobody at CERN knew him. There are lots of red flags suggesting US agencies involved.
Interesting thanks for the heads up

Do you have anything to back this up? All I've seen about the Proton team has been that they are pro-privacy, and very much opposed to explicitly anti-privacy companies like Google. https://moneyinc.com/andy-yen/
Their code is open source, if a privacy leak exists in their code and/or their published binaries and open source code don't match someone should be able expose it.
Proton is less pro privacy as their marketing suggests. Have you ever tied to sign up anonymously. Without SMS. Via Tor?
Where was Andy Yen when Proton appeared for the first time (spoiler it was not CERN)?
Why did Proton hide initially the infrastructure of their VPN offering?
Lot's of 🚩 Anyway DYOR!
