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 wouldn’t say he embraced Trump, I’d say he is pro-breaking big tech, since that would probably help Proton.

    Bernie Sanders even came out and said “hey, if Trump wants to cap credit card interest rates, I’m with him on that.”

    Trump says a lot of shit to appeal to working class people. I don’t disagree with reminding him of what he said and holding him to those things, if he’s now going to be president.

      this is true! it’s not that he loves donald trump and hates wokeism. it’s that he’s focused on his own class interests.

      as a member of the ruling class it’s his prerogative to gain more capital, and as a “small” tech company it’s within his interests to weaken the big FAANG (or whatever the new acronym is) companies. he’s hoping to supplant them with his own services (Which is why protonmail has expanded their services so much in recent years)
