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!
The truth comes out. You think this is a “both sides” thing, and you agree with it.
No, what’s being said ITT is that he’s praising trump prematurely and people don’t want to support a business run by people who do that. Incredibly simple, and might I add, logical.
I don’t. I’m not American (as if it wasn’t already clear) but if I were then I would have voted for anyone but Trump and done it with both hands. He’s a literal insurrectionist, an obvious criminal, a complete charlatan, a nasty bully, and generally an all-round terrible human being. I’m a pretty phlegmatic person so these are big words and I mean it.
But I still won’t judge a whole company based on the personal opinions of one of its employees.
…this is their CEO. “One of their employees” couldn’t possibly be more unrepresentative here.
That’s fair. Still, I will judge the company on what it does. The situation calls for vigilance, not hysterically running for the exit. Until proof to the contrary is forthcoming, Proton can still be considered a force for good.
Is this thread hysterical? I don’t think so. Only saw like 3 people saying they would see this as a sign to stop patronizing the company, which makes sense to me entirely. You might be misreading the tone here.
Well one thing’s for sure anyway: you’re intolerantly downvoting all my opinions while I’m letting yours stand. Symptomatic of my underlying point.
