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!

    I would probably agree with you to some degree within other contexts, but I do not see anything like that here. It’s easy, vote with your wallet. Don’t like something a company or its executives do? Don’t give them money, done, easy.

    Praising trump for something he hasn’t even done yet seems like a no brainer to me. It’s indicative of an attitude held by the person that can make sweeping changes to Proton as a company. I don’t see how it’s controversial honestly. If this post also showed a campaign of people demanding everyone stop using proton over this opinion, maybe you’d have a point. Spreading it for awareness is a good thing, not “hysteria”.

    Edit: One last thing, can you provide evidence that any of this originated in America? “You are on the inside and don’t see it” is not evidence.
