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

    Also their whole argument is based on the fact that she is a “corporate stooge”, when Andy cited her track record being on the right side of antitrust issue.

    It is in both cases an opinion, not a fact, something to discuss and disagree on. Unfortunately, no discussion is possible. Everyone is just trying to demonstrate that someone is above the “suspicious” threshold or matches the aestethic of some group so that they can do a character assassination instead of actually debating and contesting ideas.

    I got banned with a lot of comments removed for “nazi apology” because I was trying to suggest that is more realistic the guy chose 88 in his username for the reasons he said he did (born in 88, lucky number in Taiwan). Nope, arguing against the argument that someone is a nazi is nazi apology, end of argument. Social media is just hopeless, fediverse included, for political discourse.
