With or wthout proof, I agree that this possibility must be considered. All disruptive tech will get some kind of smear campaign or resistance from established industry. That’s why I’m still wary of the sentiment against Proton until I can finish reading all the evidence.
We can consider every possibility, which in this case I did, but without any proof we should only consider it for a short time.
And after some more digging I found more detailed info from some Dutch people who seem know their shit (link in this comment section) and it appears they don’t take this very seriously. So unless new information arises, I’m going to park this in the “probably nonsense” section of my brain. I don’t have headspace to keep considering every possible conspiracy theory without a shred of evidence. Nor do I think it will do my mental health any favours.
