And that’s why you need to have a governance structure to prevent that BS. Putting a non profit above it with 3 people who together have to make decisions that to them seem to be the best for the mission will make it really hard to start being a Nazi al besudden.

The US is not the same as Switzerland lol

Because his power is limited? He cannot just change policy on a dime

Unless the governance structure agrees to it they can’t and even the we vaj sue them for abusing a Swiss non profit

Yeah a lot of people fan over celeberties politicians or CEO’s, but at the same time a lot of people also hate those same people for various reasons. And people believe in bad against bad and not even the law anymore and don’t believe in second changes or forgiveness.

We call that, the internet.

A general increase in old person pension?

Every coin has two sides

I can say the same thing about you mentioning god. Religious conservatives have been an issue in the US (and outside the US as well) for years. But I am not going to call you out publicly for doing that either.

Now fascists are different, but agreeing with a more economic focussed standpoint doesn’t mean you have sympathy for fascists. I am progessive-center right aligned in politics, what are you gonna call me a Nazi? The US politics don’t lend for people to have specific directions with their votes.

Proton the company and the foundation are still on the consumer side of the while discussion and besides a deleted Tweet that aint gonna happen.

I am sorry, but I find it so absurd that people can literally kick somebody or a company down because of something relatively small. Most companies can be found dirt on, what are you going to do? I am just saying that there is more to the story than just calling somebody a MAGA supporter which these days is basically calling somebody a Nazi

It says a lot to you, but not to a lot of people. Stop barading the company for your own opinion

Well yeah he did support a Trump statement and went out of his way to do it. Later stupidly doubled down on it by using the official response.

But, and this might be because I am not American and live in a country where politics aren’t so black and white, but I fail to see how that means you are a MAGA nut/Trump supporter or what not. Especially not because he hasn’t taken action (will be hard to do anyway since he is not American).

And there is a strong governance structure with Andy Yen only having 33% power on final says since he is 1 of 3 people in the Proton Foundation which is the shareholder of the Proton company.

Proton is not responsible for everything Andy Yen does, Andy Yen has to take responsibility for everything Proton does.

But his power is limited anyway since there is a governance structure by using the non profit that is shareholder of Proton. This is not America.

Proton didn’t decide anything, Andy Yen posted ONE tweet and then doubled down on it with the Proton Reddit account which was deleted.

I know the US is really into this “us vs them” or Republicans against the Democrats or whatever you want to and that is fair, that’s how US policies sadly work which is also one of the reasons why the country is basically corrupt. For most people agreeing with one statement a politician made doesn’t mean anything. I can agree with some things Geert Wilders said, but that doesn’t mean Ill vote for him.

There are other articles about the whole situation, but I believe that the Tweet says more than the bullshit some people have been shouting on every post regarding Proton. Share the Tweet yes, but don’t share the bullshit.

Yeah no problem, everybody is allowed to make their own decisions, but I feel like everybody should at least see the actual Tweet.

Edit: apparantly people don’t want the truth to be shared? Share the dang Tweet people.

Agreeing with a statement from a politician doesn’t mean you support that politician, that’s how compromises can even start.

But Any Yen isn’t in politics, let alone US politics, he is just an idiot.

This articles goes a bit more into it, but it is also an opinion. Don’t use Proton if you don’t want to idc: https://medium.com/@ovenplayer/does-proton-really-support-trump-a-deeper-analysis-and-surprising-findings-aed4fee4305e

Proton itself never directly commited on anything from Trump in a positive way.

Their current CEO Andy Yen posted this Tweet. Yes he is an idiot and even doubled down on it with the Proton account Now I am not from a country with a 2 party system, but last time I checked agreeing with one statement from somebody doesn’t mean you support them. Heck finding common ground is often a way to find compromises.

Do what you want and don’t support them if you don’t want them, but don’t act like the company Proton is a Trump supporter. Heck there are a lot of articles on the Proton site which are pro privacy and pro consumer.
