    Except politics, actually, can change the service. For example, surrendering data in secret. Or installing backdoors.

    Not that I think Proton is gonna do that (or at least hope so), but thinking “why would I care about politics, they don’t affect the app on a technical level” is incredibly naive and potentially incorrect.

    With an over-the-top example, it’s kinda like saying “why should I care about the politics of my landlord after they support the “Increase Tenant’s Rent” party, it doesn’t change the service”

      If your threat model depends of political idiologies then you should reconsider your threat model.
