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

    Honestly I’ll still be using Proton and recommending it because it’s just good and a net benefit for everyone, but goddammit Andy you should’ve taken Swiss neutrality to heart this time and not said anything.

    Another tech dipshit, whose wealth allows him to exist outside the realm of reality, bending the knee to an anti-democratic felon rapist so he can get some handouts.

    Pathetic loser.

    Growing up, if you had told me half or more of America would end up elevating a rapist to the presidency and prostrating themselves at his feet, I’d have laughed you out of the room. This nation has sunk LOW.

    NordVPN is superior in every way. If you have ProtonVPN, dump it and swap to Nord.
