American version of propaganda.

F-Droid would likely be out because they rebuild many apps from source.

Why does Proton come off as a vapid American technology company that leverages privacy themed keywords in their PR copytext?

I say this as someone who has been using their email services for many years (I am a subscriber too).

I also don’t necessarily oppose a privacy focused cloud LLM from Proton. It’s more the tone of the blogpost, the misleading service comparison table under “Compare Lumo with other leading AI assistants” and where their priorities lie.

They have one strong competitive advantage that Starlink will never have; they are not American.

By definition, you cannot trust an American service. Even if the people who run a given service are not degenerates, there are enough degenerates in the US that they could elect a degenerate who will fuck you over.

They have both GEO and LEO satellites. Not on the scale of Starlink (for LEO), but they do have a network.

I am not commenting on the nature of the stock market or anything like that. Just pointing out that they do have a working network, it’s not 100% speculation (like you see with crypto schemes).
