Article: https://proton.me/blog/deepseek

Calls it "Deepsneak", failing to make it clear that the reason people love Deepseek is that you can download and it run it securely on any of your own private devices or servers - unlike most of the competing SOTA AIs.

I can't speak for Proton, but the last couple weeks are showing some very clear biases coming out.

No problem mate. The thread is a mess, but if you read the comments below the top pinned one, you'll see most of the salient points that pissed people off. The "color" i mentioned above came from all over that thread, with some of it deleted. I know he edited/deleted the "triggered" comment when he was called out, but he never expanded on why he claimed the GOP was the "party of the little guy" and why all the "corporate dems needed to be thrown out" to get anything done. He also opted not to respond at all to people asking why he thought the party of tech billionaires was suddenly going to crack down on tech billionaires besides saying he really liked J.D Vance, a tech millionaire whose political run was funded by, get this, tech billionaire Peter theil.

Dude fawned very publicly over tech billionaire maga, who will do clearly do nothing for privacy and monopoly busting, while pretending that the real issue is chuck shumers and establishment dems.

The bias is clear and prominent.

I wasn't a customer of theirs (I'm always skeptical of super-popular-anything), but I think I'll look elsewhere for secure email.

Not because of this article, which I think makes some decent points, but because I would worry in the back of my mind that the Officers of the company would happily bow to their demigods and start secretly tracking people as a show of fealty.
