Proton is transitioning towards a non-profit structure
To ensure our mission always comes first, Proton is transitioning to a non-profit structure and formalizing our promise of people before profits.
The opposite of the OpenAI.
Honestly, a very impressive move. Makes me way more confident in the trajectory of the company and I'm happy to have been a visionary user for multiple years.
I wonder, though, just how much of Proton A.G. does the foundation now own? They say it's the largest shareholder, but they didn't say "majority shareholder".
Man, I wish I could afford their rates. They're just a little bit higher than I can justify compared to other options for a given service.
It is a nice PR but for me I am not impressed. Rolex is also a non profit organization in Switzerland and and mostly help hiding there finance.
Correct me if I am wrong but all I see is words and promises. I would trust them if they release the yearly finance transparently.
For now the only act I can judge them on is their collaboration with police to give ecologist activists IP.
I was this close to upgrade to the paid plan, and this is the final push I needed
Nice !
Maybe that will allow them to get rid of their marketing habits !We recently purchased the family plan even if it is quite expensive for a couple. Reading this of course made me feel better about it.
Not to rain on the parade, but as long as we allow the reality-sized hole that is non-profits owning for-profits, this isn’t something I can get terribly excited about.
