Can you explain? I thought Proton was a good service due to their VPN and such.

The company seems fine but I think they're referring to the pro-Trump comments the CEO made.

There was a mistake in that comment afaik. It was something where context was missing from the picture which you could have seen on twitter and understand that the CEO is not pro- Trump

Proton edited and deleted some of their responses because it made them look even worse. You can find one here: https://archive.ph/quYyb

Complete delusion believing Trump will "stand up for the little guy". The GOP is the party that gutted net neutrality after all. They had the Chevron doctrime overturned. The Thiel-Musk funded party standing up for "little tech"? Please.

The CEO tried to spin it off as "missing context" but the responses show he's either completely delusional, has been comatose for the past two decades or is just pro-Trump. I can't look inside his head, but his tacit endorsement of the party actively dismantling US democracy is not something that can really "lack context".

Proton, the company, has donated to liberal parties. The CEO seems to be a bit more of the "libertarian" type, that doesn't seem to mind everything the GOP did in the past years.

Proton is also a great service.
