I’m really pleased with proton’s service. This is, however, very troubling.
If you think this is troubling, look up the CEOs take/comments on Trump.
Edit: Wow, instantly downvoted by a bot inside of 10 seconds after posting. Someone’s downvoting anything negative about trump it seems.
Testing.
Trump is an idiot pants shitter criminal and should have been put in prison long ago.
Edit: More humans than bots.
No need to go search - Here is the CEO’s take on Trump, he tweeted support for Gail Slater for as Donald Trump’s Department of Justice Assistant Attorney General for Antitrust. In Dec 2024 He says
Terrible take but also honestly not a super surprising one from a non-citizen foreign CEO who main competition is US companies that should be hit with antitrust suits and are supposed to be regulated by the US.
He agreed with Trump on one thing, and not even one of the really bad things? Is that all?
There was a follow up where people feel he doubled down on this by having the official Proton account post “Until corporate Dems are thrown out, the reality is that Republicans remain more likely to tackle Big Tech abuses.”. This statement was later retracted by Proton. That is full story.
This is not the end of the reasons that people have an issue with Proton, I was just clarifying the vagueposting about the CEO support for Trump.
And here you have the Republicans tackling big tech abuses https://www.aol.com/articles/trump-triples-down-super-intelligence-234059000.html

I am not saying it was a good take, I was just saying this is what he said, so people can decide how they would like to be outraged themselves.
Yeah aged like milk, but it smelled rotten from the start for most of us.
As of this comment you’re sitting on 14 downvotes.
13 of them are visible on Lemvotes and they look naturally occurring to me. Granted I didn’t bother opening profiles to check their likelihood of being human though.
I don’t think it’s a bot.
Interesting thing I noticed in looking this up though, Andy Yen doesn’t have a Wikipedia page.
Interesting. Maybe I just got “lucky” then hah. I posted, the page refreshed, it said 8 seconds since I posted, and I had 1 downvote already. Figured it had to be a bot or something responding to an API request at that speed, or maybe someone just loaded the page up, scrolled down, read my comment, and downvoted inside of 8 seconds of my perfectly timed post.
The world may never know 🙂
Proton fanboys?
A lot of them have a 2 word username. This smells like bots to me.
Edit. I see this a lot on our discord server.

I downvoted you and I’m not a bot. (And also a Trump hater.)
The fact is every fucking CEO sucks, no matter the product, so that isn’t going to be something I consider when choosing one. The pertinent questions regarding any product are price, quality, and the impact of consuming it.
Proton’s a better choice for most because the Swiss regulate privacy heavily, unlike the US.
“I don’t vote cus both sides are the same” energy
This guy was quite heavily anti Harris last election cycle, so there is some inherent hypocrisy about them
My profile literally says I hate both Democrats and Republicans. If you had an 80 year-old parent forced to drive for DoorDash to avoid homelessness, I imagine you’d be less than impressed with our ruling parties too.
So yep. Anti-Harris.
Famously trying to hide it, obviously. :D
Im not saying that you try to hide it, I was just pointing the other person on that particular stance of yours.
For most people ‘hating Trump’ would imply that you try to support an alternative, but that doesn’t hold in your case. I was just making your interlocutor aware of that as he was assuming you would be a supporting an alernative, which you don’t.
Fair enough. 🤟😎
Do you think you’re the only person impacted by the economy and lack of social services? Lmao.
Look at how many people are about to lose medicaid because asshats like you sat out the last election.
I too read nuanced statements and dismiss them with thought-terminating cliches.
Ironically, that’s what I’m condemning your comment for
Well, maybe read it a second time, and the entire thing this go-around, and see if it jars anything loose. Have a great day.
But how is it a bad comment?
