Unnecessary and deeply concerning bow to the new “king”

Update: position got backed up by an official Proton post on Mastodon, it’s an official Proton statement now. https://mastodon.social/@protonprivacy/113833073219145503

Update 2, plot-twist: they removed this response from Mastodon - seems they realize it exploded into their face!

    So Proton is out.

    Sorry, I won’t trust a service that licks fascist boots.

      The service actually just stated some facts but if that is what you want to do, go ahead! Edit: Typo

        Stopped clocks and all, they’re still endorsing an absolute shithead over one issue that he hasn’t even actually delivered on, but who has good reason to insist on authoritarian surveillance measures.

        If you care about privacy, betting on companies that suck up to Authoritarians is a bad idea.

      I was about to pull the trigger on Proton. Good to know, I will never use this service now.

      This also reinforces my belief that email should be provided by the government. If they are going to spy on me anyways might as well give it straight to them.

      I am sick of private companies providing the primary way we communicate when they can kick you off their platform because they think you look funny.
