I am shocked to see so many posts in Reddit and here mentioning Andy’s post.

There are people creating posts with titles like Proton became MAGA, Andy endorsed Republican, and the like…

I am urging everyone, please take a step back and look at the whole story.

I really don’t want people to be manipulated by reading only the titles of those posts and come into conclusion of what Proton is doing.

And please think this, “Proton Mail is the world’s largest secure email provider. Swiss, end-to-end encrypted, private, and free.” what does the service has to do with politics?

Thank you

    So what exactly is your point?

    I read the articles, saw his tweets, and think that endorsing a fascist politician from the US doesn’t sit well for a privacy and freedom of speech endorsing platform.

        Dems had a choice between the progressive wing (Bernie Sanders, etc), versus corporate Dems, but in the end money won and constituents lost. Until corporate Dems are thrown out, the reality is that Republicans remain more likely to tackle Big Tech abuses.

        Ok, so he endorsed the republican party and not its de-facto leader. Please explain how that makes a difference?

          Not to mention how deliriously stupid he must be to think republicans in general or trump with Elon at his side specifically would tackle abuses by corporations. Imagine how stupid one must be to think that.

            Yeah that’s completely dumb. Two megalomaniac corporate overlords fighting… Corporate abuse? Sure. No doubt.
