@tomasino @Tutanota Not trying to be argumentative or defend Proton....but why? Proton gave up billing information, something they are legally bound to do.

I get that Tutanota is in a different country....but if you pay in a way that isn't anon, won't you have the same issue?

@MarioTorre @gedvondur @oleksify @tomasino @Tutanota He did endorse the Republican party though: https://archive.ph/quYyb

The same political statement was repeated by official channels multiple times: https://archive.ph/LlbSj

In his original tweet, also seen in the above link, he also praised Trump for this pick, despite Gail previously working for a big tech lobbying group that fought against privacy rights: https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonMail/s/1TLRffxABM , while criticizing democrats for that very thing in the official statement

He later stated "[I] apologize if this triggered some people", which is verbiage typically associated with conservative bubbles: https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonMail/s/h6r8PcQmVJ (later edited, as pointed out below)

I also find it interesting that his Reddit username is /u/andy1011000, the binary number being equivalent to 88

This all can be interpreted in a number of ways. But personally it makes me feel a bit iffy about supporting his company.
