I am shocked to see so many posts in Reddit and here mentioning Andy’s post.
There are people creating posts with titles like Proton became MAGA, Andy endorsed Republican, and the like…
I am urging everyone, please take a step back and look at the whole story.
I really don’t want people to be manipulated by reading only the titles of those posts and come into conclusion of what Proton is doing.
And please think this, “Proton Mail is the world’s largest secure email provider. Swiss, end-to-end encrypted, private, and free.” what does the service has to do with politics?
Thank you
A board member of a privacy company not understanding the basic and obvious fact that fascists and nazis like republicans never want to reign in big tech, but want to hijack it to make it even worse, is sort of like him not knowing what a VPN does.
It’s too central to the business for him to be that far away from understanding it, and all of his reasonable responses to the backlash haven’t addressed that, which is the entire point. Even if he doesn’t do it again, he still has demonstrated a crippling lack of understanding about his business.
The other side let big tech run amok, influence elections, stifle free speech, and censor differing opinions. Sounds like something actual fascists would do, but keep thinking they were helping you.
Trump chose this guy to be in his government
That’s not defending the Democrats, but this one just openly displayed he’s a Nazi on national tv
Edit: in case there’s any doubt:
Private platforms are allowed to “stifle free speech” and “censor” their users. It’s also known as moderation. Any infringement on their ability to moderate would be stifling freedom.
