MODERATORS
Not challenging you, but do you have evidence that's easy for you to get to? I am considering their mail service. Thanks!
I guess they mean the tweet of the Proton CEO, which was blown far out of proportion and without context and caused a sensationalist shitstorm on Reddit.
If you want a detailed write up: https://scribe.rip/@ovenplayer/does-proton-really-support-trump-a-deeper-analysis-and-surprising-findings-aed4fee4305e
Dude basically just said that Reps were more responsive than Dems when he tried to lobby. Everyone's translation was that he must love Trump.
Good write up, thank you for the context.
I think I've gotten this info on Lemmy somewhere. Searching got me this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44808694

So it seems like it's not such a clear cut case as i made it out to be. Thanks for "challenging" me, even though that wasn't your goal.
Thanks for the update!
