Proton's mission, funding sources, independence, and community are some of the reasons we're more resilient than other privacy-first companies.

“ …ways you can organize a business that makes literally impossible to legally do these things. ”

Not disputing this is true, but could you provide some examples?

They're talking about making it a nonprofit, I'm sure. People working for nonprofits can have good salaries so its not like they're not good to work for, and any profit can be reinvested into the company or donated to other nonprofits. But you can't sell the company to a for-profit (I don't think), and the ownsers can't take all of the profit for themselves.
