The guy went on a lobbying trip to DC and was heard by GOP folks and not dems. So what? That’s all we know. Were dems busy that day? Did he try a different approach when he talked to the right. Anyone can go to DC and be heard or ignored on a lobbying trip.
Also, the content creator of the video was not vetted for sponsorship because they don’t usually do that. They admitted fault and are changing procedures to appropriately vet moving forward. I think their marketing team might even be external. Also, fascists never admit fault or accept accountability.
This sounds like big tech doesn’t want competition. You’ve seen google prevent side loading, and do a ton of shady things at this point. Why not a smear campaign too?
Thus guy might be a raging fascist dickhead for all I know. I’m just pointing out that the supposed evidence falls short and proves nothing.
Concerns I see are that Proton encourages you to import spam from your last account
They were lobbying in the US (there are good reasons to do that though)
They send your gmail notifications that you have new Proton emails along with details of that email if you use your old gmail as a recovery while transitioning - just use a different recovery email
None of those actual concerns have anything to do with far right ideologies.

It’s not possible to really anonymize whichever option if it has to be used repeatedly enough that a pattern is formed, in particular for cash. That’s why one-time options are so important: because, given enough time, the past is in the past.
Not to mention that the bitcoin option means having to buy into the scams and felonies that is crypto in the first place.
As for lifetime subscriptions being “hard to properly price”, I don’t see why Proton can’t consult with SDF on the matter. SDF offers a multitude of services of noticeably high involvement – heck you get shell on their servers – so I don’t see how routing a tun/tap interface goes much more difficult than that.
