The lead developer is taking some time away from the project and won’t be doing public social media anymore because of harassment. The project continues and will be maintained by the dev team, who have actually been doing most of the work for some time anyway. The project was one of the 10 winners of Proton’s recent raffle fundraising, they’re not going anywhere. Rossman’s video was uncharitable imo, and because it published private DMs without consent, also unethical. This response video is pretty good.
As a general statement that is incorrect. That was a specific case where they were legally compelled to give what they could, the default is no logs.
