As some who has been out literal in the woods, can someone give me more context?
tl:dr Proton CEO came out on Twitter and praised Trump's selection for FTC leader. Which is fine, in my opinion, even though I disagree with it. What's not so fine is that he followed that up with basically "dems are bought and conservatives are more likely to fight for consumer privacy", which is abundantly clearly to anyone who pays attention to US politics, objectively incorrect.
The biggest problem to me was the official Proton reddit account making an official statement agreeing with Andy. Andy blamed this on a "miscommunication" and it has since been deleted, but probably only because of the backlash they were receiving.
The biggest problem to me is the CEO of a company whose entire focus is on privacy and privacy advocacy being so incredibly ignorant of US politics as it pertains to privacy.
Yup, that he is anything but a downgrade from Lina khan for consumer protection in the FTC is super wrong.
Protons ceo is publicly promoting trump and so are public proton accounts
That's a lie. He never promoted Trump.
I mean, you're kinda splitting hairs no? He certainly promoted the Republican party, of which Trump leads.
This is also a lie. He did not promote the Republican Party. Words mean something, quit making shit up.
Did you read his actual comments? He literally made propagandistic claims in support of Republicans and in opposition to Democrats. Or do you agree with him that Republicans are "for the little guy"? Its complete nonsense made up to promote the Republican party.
How is saying that republicans are the right choice for their policies and democrats are not, not promoting republicans?
No, I don't think so at all.
