A Wayback Machine capture from November 7, 2026, of a Proton UserVoice forum post titled "Andy Yen, CEO, should step down completely," which has 2,457 votes. The post criticizes Proton's leadership for pursuing AI features against user wishes. Overlaid blue text in the bottom right reads: "!! Note: AI use is NOT the full story. Countless commenters who support the motion clarified under this post that the issue is not with the use of AI alone, but with Andy's management philosophy, the culture of fear it engenders, and therefore a lost of trust in the product's quality."
