Because I acknowledged that they've responded to it with:
"Proton mails seems to like to brush this off ..."
And I don't find they're explanation particularly cogent. And for a company that makes such a big deal about their Swiss affiliation this seems to big a particularly glaring detail.
From your link:
>"Recently, malicious rumors have surfaced that our partnership with Radware means Israel has compromised ProtonMail email privacy (since Radware’s international headquarters is in Israel). These rumors have mostly been spread by conspiracy theorists who don’t at all understand ProtonMail’s technology."
Do you think that Protonamil is privy to what goes on in the hardware of either Binat-Rad Group Ltd's Radware DPI asics or the network topology in Binat-Rad Group's data centers?
And Binat-Rad does have a relationship with the Israeli government:
"In our opinion, the Company’s working capital is sufficient for the Company’s present requirements. Since our inception, we have financed our operations through a combination of issuing debt and/or equity securities, including two public offerings, research and development and/or marketing grants from the Government of Israel and cash generated by operations."[1]
And if you think that Binat-Rad is not involved in politics, see:
