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 am dissapointed that my VPN is getting involved in US politics. This is not something I want for this kind of service. I dont want to debate US politics here. That being said, I cancelled my annual autorenew for April and I would like some recommendations. Originally I was deciding between Mulvad and Proton. I’ve also seen some people in this thread using Tuta? I am in Europe and just want a service that prioritizes anonyminity and data protection. I don’t know how the dust will settle on all this Proton stuff. What would you all recommend for a provider?

    They’re is no way Trump wrote that tweet. It is full of punctuation and clearly gets a point across. It was clearly written by someone else. Nevertheless, time to delete protonmail.

    Really disappointing. Never imagined this from Proton. Truly dead to me now.

    So Proton is out.

    Sorry, I won’t trust a service that licks fascist boots.

    Regrading Update 2, maybe the other board members can push his guy out? I’m paid for to the end of the year, so I’ll wait it out a bit. I’d rather not jump ship, only to have that ship also go pro fascist too.

    Been using their paid service for months. I have so many aliases. I’m just surprised. Surely this company knows its biggest user base has to be too educated to let this slide.

    I don’t want to mix tech with politics, but what in the actual fuck?
