It isn't about politics so much as endorsing a party that is openly hostile towards Proton customers. LGBT, immigrants, journalists, progressives, etc for example who paid for Proton explicitly for privacy protection against any upcoming persecution by the group he is praising.

With this endorsement there is the concern not only will they not protect these customers but will loudly align themselves against them and cause harm. It questions their ethics and business decisions as well to make such a major public relations mistake. Will they create a secret backdoor or anything else with their endorsement?

Hint: everything trump says is a lie. His new crony is NOT going to be "tough on big tech" as the toddler traitor says.

What he actually means is they're going to use the government to destroy our privacy and freedom of speech, whilst simultaneously stealing every red cent they can from our pockets.

You gotta read between the lies with that dipshit.

Was there any urge (as if you can be urged at all to bootlick a rightwing asshole) to make these statements? No. Yet he did it.
