protonmail is CIA https://encryp.ch/blog/disturbing-facts-about-protonmail/
besides the above, their open support for regime change in China is NOT something a Taiwanese company would do. I live in Taiwan and have worked here for over a decade. Executives here try to keep their head down and just make money. They do not champion any causes.
I have read that blog entry and some of its references. The evidence provided for this strong claim seems to be very weak. I would not judge anything based on the listed talking points. Now, knowthing is impossible and such services are sure in the interest of governments around the world. I also want to remind people on the Swiss Crypto AG which sold compromised analog encryption machines for decades.
This user also claims Signal and Matrix are CIA and refuses to provide sources for those claims
