I see this block every time I open my email. Is this a bug I’m facing or is this the new normal?

    Quick note, Proton AG itself (the for profit company) still owns, operates and develops the Proton services as we know. The only difference with the non-profit structure is that Proton AG is owned by the proton foundation. Which basically is a protection against aggressive takeovers and the enshittification that would follow. Also, tax advantages, probably.

      OpenAI begs to differ.

        From what I understand since the proton nonprofit is established in Switzerland, it’s more restrictive than the USA

          That’s a good point but I see nothing about that in their announcement. Could very well just establish a US-based non-profit.
