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

    Yeah well, my Politics Policy says to not support fascists or people who openly praise fascists if I can help it. So there’s that.

    what does the service has to do with politics?

    They endorsed Trump on an official account and couldn’t be arsed to properly apologize.

      Reading comprehension isn’t your strong suit either apparently. He praised an appointment selection, not Trump. Nowhere did he say “I support or endorse Trump”.

        He made a comment along the lines of the republican being for the small guys… Which from my foreign opinion is A) blatantly false B) supporting the republicans in general (lead very much by trump)

        That seemed to be a generic comment, not just for this case. He never seemed to roll that back in his responses

        It all seems very strange for him to say if they are indeed a swiss company.

          Seriously, who is paying these people to spread lies on Lemmy, of all places?

      No one endorsed Trump, this is just a blatant lie.
