@arafel @Em0nM4stodon Ah, slight exaggeration.

The official reddit for Protonmail is full of Nazis and fascists that are not blocked or removed, arguing things like "white awakening is coming, brown people won't survive". Protonmail complies to Swiss hate speech laws in their services, but have no issues with it on their official reddit.

Also around Xmas 2024 the CEO openly supported the GOP, as did their official reddit account. After a backlash all comments by Andy Yen were scrubbed.

@arafel @WhyNotZoidberg @Em0nM4stodon Proton is not bad, and they do not endorse Trump.

This really needs some nuance, not the flamebait that Reddit is doing.

@[email protected] @[email protected] No. No he did not. This is completely untrue. Please stop regurgitating long-refuted Reddit untruths and hysteria. Please read and disabuse yourselves of this notion that privacy advocates Proton are "in bed with Trump": https://medium.com/@ovenplayer/does-proton-really-support-trump-a-deeper-analysis-and-surprising-findings-aed4fee4305e
