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!
Oh damn. I was hoping proton had another good 20 years before some limp-dick ceo started with this shit.
I guess that makes tuta the company to beat?
Posteo as well
It's almost understandable to bend the knee in the hopes of avoiding the coming purges, but this goes well beyond just seeking corporate survival. Genuinely disgusting. It looks like the way forward for Proton will be lit by the bridges they're burning.
The entirety of the tech space is basically mask off fascist Trump/Musk simps
Wtf Proton is same of Zuckerberg & Musk !!! Which mail could we use now ? Where the hell is the world going ? Could we have an Europe Elon Free, an Europe Zuck Free, and Swiss Proton Free...?!
Lmao, proton looked sus to me for a long time. Good I never felt for anything more than their email.
Damn it. I just switched over from Google about a month ago. Worked on creating lots of aliases for my signs-in throughout the internet. I'm not leaving this easily, but now it's something that I'm thinking about and will bounce if things get worse.
He's just one of five board members of the Non-Profit that owns Proton AG. Not really a doomsday scenario.
Oh damn

Someone remind me, what's the first chapter in On Tyranny?
Well shit, I was about to make the switch to Proton for email... glad I've been lazy about it, now. I'll figure something else out, mail-in-a-box looks like what I really want anyway
Large corporations like google have grown and thrived in Silicon Valley, supported by the politicians of California. So by extension they are partially responsible for enabling these companies to be the giants they are.
According to this article Google has funded 40 elected officials and spent $10.7 million in lobbying California's legislature and Governor this year alone.
If a president (even a shitty one) was considering putting a damper on companies like google, I would not be against that. We'll see if anything actually happens.
I'm not ditching Proton over one fucking tweet
