Proton literally praised Trump, caused a bunch of drama, killed off their mastadon server, doubled down on the trump support via their official accounts on X...
They should sit the fuck down at this point. The oh but we're the good guys train has left the station awhile ago.
Yeah. They just want to piggyback off of the current events. We already have Mullvad VPN and it's great.
There is an expression in my language for people like you "coffee grinder" - because they go round and round talking about the same thing. If you were at least correct... Saying that one party did one thing right doesn't mean supporting that party blindly or fully. You know, normal people CAN see or say positive things even about people they don't like, that's called objectivity. Doesn't mean they like them, support them, vote for them or anything else. I agree that maybe even the one opinion should not have been made by the company official channel, but its much more okay than people like you, who spread hate and toxicity (much like the republicans that you so much hate...)
The whole of Proton or just the CEO?
Given they double downed, used official channels to reinforce, removed discourse by killing the Mastadon server as mentioned... It's fair to say the whole.
The guards on trial at Nuremberg didn't get a pass cause the CEO of the Nazis had the opinion and they "just followed orders" . Why should the social media team at Proton when the CEO supports modern Nazi wannabes?
I was unaware of those additional details. I thought it was just the CEO being a dick, and perhaps performing for the Audience of One (orangeboi). Iโll be dropping them as a service I use considering this new data.
Do you have sources to back up your claims?
OP is a proton employee
Nah Iโm good.
Mullvad VPN ftw.
I tried both. Mullvad is a little bit better on Linux and a little bit worse for streaming services from my original country. What I wish for is that the Tailscale integration with mullvad would be possible to pay with crypto (right now you have to pay through tailscale with credit card). If that happens I switch again :)
Mullvad are so good
Itโs Mullvad and Posteo for me!
Mullvad first, but then I would put Proton. And yep I pay for mullvad despite already paying for the Proton suite of apps.
That said, more people able to easily start using a vpn is great news... Until the day our leaders, always so focused on our well-being, decide to make it illegal for us to use a VPN for our own security quite obviously as there would be no comparison with what may happen in some dictatorship.
