All sorts of things going wrong, here. Not vetting people before setting up affiliate hyperlinks and video sponsorships. Having the company's marketing people control a third party on-line forum and delete content as if it is the company's own marketing channel.

The affiliate page on #Proton's WWW site did get taken down, though, and there was an on-the-record response, from the company, posted. But on Reddit.

Apparently Proton AG sponsored French, politically biased and motivated influencer/journalist Vincent Lapierre, and quite a lot of people are seeing this as a major deal.

He has ties to the Soral/E&R network, but left and publicly criticized them in 2018.

Now, however, many users are questioning whether this was the right move for Proton, and if it's ethically and morally correct.

Thread, 1/2. Personal opinion below.
