After the changes to their TOS I lost any trust I had in Proton

The difficulty of proving damages in breach of privacy cases combined with generally weak privacy legislation globally means the threat of a class action often serves as one of the only practical deterrents to abuses of power by corporations controlling sensitive personal information.

Tactics like the use of binding arbitration clauses are hallmarks of inherently untrustworthy corporations.
Pretty sure this is just privacy washing. The real issue here is censorship.
