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!

      Imagine staying onboard with someone promoting nearly every horrible thing in our world just so you can have easier email access.

        I mean, they showed agreement on one issue, which is obviously important for Proton and as a consequence beneficial for the general population (fairer competition with privacy respecting companies).

          On the surface, yes. Look up Gail Slater and then decide if you really think she’s going to do anything about monopolies. Her career since leaving the FTC has been spent defending them.

        Imagine making your entire existence a matter that eventually turns into politics. Give me a break. Who cares what he said?

        If you think Trump covers “nearly every horrible thing in our world”, what do you say about the world from since you can remember until 2017 and again from 2021 till now?

          After I eventually parsed that sentence: think hard about how logic and language work. A person promoting a lot of horrible things isn’t the same as that person inventing them.
