I don't like Proton after the CEO posted the pro-Trump statement and did not use them after that.
Its really weird how people are blaming Protonmail when it was the Swiss government that complied with the FBI. That to me is really suspicious. The US government is currently not a trusted source of accuracy, and for the Swiss to readily agree to it?
Worse, the chuds blaming the proton user?
Protonmail is used by a lot of reporters/whistleblowers. As what point is their work also a threat to the US government and will the Swiss force Protonmail to hand that over too?

Switzerland has been a proud fascist collaborator for at least a hundred years. Why wouldn't they cooperate with the US?

What are some good alternatives to Protonmail? I'm talking companies that don't exploit their users and also that don't support unsavory politicians. I've been looking for one (I was not impressed with that post from the Proton CEO either). Thanks.

I concur, not a fan of any pro-Trump sentiment. That being said, I've never used their mail service but I've been attempting to use their VPN for a few months now and it's trash.
