Almost certainly, yes.
People on Mastodon are not happy about those statements, and called Proton out on it relentlessly with every post Proton made. This is Proton running away with their tail between their legs, back to platforms where they have more control and/or are already full of right-wing nutjobs.
If anyone's looking for secure email, look at tuta.com instead. The email service is very similar in terms of UX and offers better encryption. They don't offer the rest of Proton's suite, but...maybe that's a good thing? I mean, do you want to get locked into an ecosystem?
Imo it's more like leaving the town full of bullies.. completely understandable, I would do the same. Insane amount of hate, for one mistake. People can only see black and white these days..
You must be new to the internet. People make a drama out of every little shit.
:D apparently yes. it's still sad to see. There wasn't a single post done by proton that didn't immediately derail into people blaming about "the issue", and they just couldn't stop. Not a fun time, and there isn't anything the company can do to convince these people otherwise, they are just a lost in hate
