Gregory's ServerProton is taking its privacy-first apps to a nonprofit foundation model
Because of Swiss laws, there are no shareholders, and only one mission.

@delosmzp @arstechnica It certainly sounds great. As I just posted on the Ars main site, I look forward to a follow-up article which attempts to assess just how resistant this approach is to future bad actors — in practice rather than in theory. @integerpoet Hmm.. good idea. Analogous to a privacy & security audit these company perform on their products and services but for the company and this type of a structure at large.. @delosmzp And with particular attention paid to the advantages of Swiss law, because perhaps this will serve as a model for other orgs which “move” there. @integerpoet True. Would be nice to see such an assessment occur. It would be one of its kind. |
@arstechnica This is akin to how FOSS projects if done well have a trust-less system. Analogously, this is Proton ensuring that nothing can and will happen to it in the future as well as they grow to avoid bad actors, takeovers, and other bad things. We don't necessarily have to to trust Proton and it's management or change in leadership because this new system won't allow anything bad to happen to it in any way.
