ProtonMail is run by SiliconValley techbros that stan for cia-backed Bellingcat. Their whole brand is just leveraging Americans impression of Switzerland being a secretive country. It's not a great company.
Can you provide some resources for your claims?
About Bellingcat being an arm of the CIA or that Proton supports Bellingcat or that Protonmail is run by Americans techbros that did some studies at CERN and decided to stay and leverage the Swiss brand? These are all relatively easy to google. For the Bellingcat CIA link search for GrayZone + Bellingcat. There's some quality investigative journalism there.
