What did proton do wrong? Legit question, I'm out of the loop.
Nothing. It's just FUD.
Here's an article about it: https://medium.com/@ovenplayer/does-proton-really-support-trump-a-deeper-analysis-and-surprising-findings-aed4fee4305e
Even if the CEO did support the orange turd, I would personally still be able to separate his personal opinion from what the non profit is doing.
He explicitly supported the republican party in its current guise. That's enough for me to run. Fastmail is where I've temporarily landed - would prefer somewhere away from Aussie jurisdiction, but it felt like the least-shit.
Great source, thanks :)
That was informative, thanks.
I agree with you, I would be extremely surprised if the Proton CEO supported Trump.. I would say very unlikely.
Very thinly veiled tho... It's not an immediate threat, but it's best to just move away from it if you can.
