Proton’s CEO Cancels AI ‘Re-Interviews’

Proton CEO Andy Yen cancelled nearly company-wide "re-interviews" that would have required employees to explain their AI use, following a 404 Media investigation into his aggressive AI push. The investigation reported Yen dismissing security concerns as "loser thinking" and described a culture of fear at the privacy-focused company, with users calling for his resignation. One employee told 404 Media after Friday's all-hands meeting that the only reason it happened was that Yen "has a rebellion on his hands."
