Unnecessary and deeply concerning bow to the new “king”
Update: position got backed up by an official Proton post on Mastodon, it’s an official Proton statement now. https://mastodon.social/@protonprivacy/113833073219145503
Update 2, plot-twist: they removed this response from Mastodon - seems they realize it exploded into their face!
This is a stretch & honestly not worth abandoning proton because of this.<br> Don’t just abandon a good FOSS/Privacy project just because of a CEO’s (of a frickin Non-Profit in Switzerland) statements, you’re too busy arguing & not getting things done Have some nuance guys
Could be 1000+ IQ chess move in disguise, appeal to Trump’s ego & get him to make trouble for big-tech Let’s see whether this actually affects Proton & decide from there
as a side-note: people from techlore are scumbags
It is not just Andy’s opinion, official Proton accounts have doubled down on it too:

Again, not a big deal, it’s based in Switzerland & they won’t let USA interfere with their politics
But honestly the guy should’ve followed Swiss’s Neutrality stance & kept his mouth shut
Does this affect the product ? Has it affected the product ? nope, not yet
Listen to what you’re saying man - Spinless coward is gonna spineless coward, and he showed us he is a spinless coward - can’t trust a person with no integrity.
A coward that can be removed & who is also in Switzerland Also, have some patience, who knows we might see a change in opinion
Nah he can go fuck himself. Just like someone sucking up to any other fascist dictator.
So… Biden wasn’t one too ? (He IS a mass-murderer)
Just saying, Wait & watch (I’m a Non-American)
