You read one title and one tweet and assume a guys whole identity. WTF. Also Proton is owned by it’s employees and a non-profit. https://proton.me/about/team There are many other people there. Also the tweet was a picture. Also if it is real it’s not that bad to compliment a president on choosing a guy that actually is listening about what you have to say against big tech.

I’m hoping Yen just fucked up and posted without thinking it through, but seriously, I can’t in any way take anyone seriously who says Trump is sticking it to big tech and fighting for the little guy when we literally know the going rate for a big tech bribe to Trump. It’s a million dollars from the CEO personally, donated to the inauguration fund. Zuck, Cook and others have each done it, and gained audiences with Trump.
I am not an American and maybe do not understand how the political system operates. However I did not write that Trump is sticking it to the big guys. You are making something up there. If Trump chose a minister is not the minister responsible for listening to the industry? Yen’s and Proton’s position (taking this from the now removed Mastodon post) was/is that the Democrats chose Kamala instead of Bernie and Kamala’s team did not listen. Trumps apointee did listen. If it were Bernie’s team I am sure Proton would complement Bernie for choosing someone who listens. I just do not think this is a big deal.
Yeah, I’m not a “Trumper,” but the amount of preemptive conclusions and quick judgments people make, especially those who claim to be tolerant and empathetic, is quite hypocritical.
I don’t deny that I sometimes jump to conclusions too, but I’m amazed at how people don’t even bother to research for even a few seconds! They see a picture, realize it’s not a person destroying something Trump tweeted, notice other comments that jump to conclusions, and that’s all it takes for them to make their own conclusions.
If those in charge’s goal is to divide us and stifle critical thinking, they’ve been remarkably successful. It’s a shame because humans could achieve so many incredible things if we weren’t constantly divided and consumed by hatred.
The tweet said “this guy who is fucking Elon musk for money now is the only one supporting the little guys”. It doesn’t take a lot to think through this, it doesn’t take empathy. We are fighting an irrational cult of personality bent on destroying the united States as we know it, and for the worse. Supporting Trump at all is not an option.
Yes, I did assume that he’s extremely stupid if he thinks anything good could ever come from Trump. It’s not like he’s some mysterious unknown quantity at this point, we’ve been through this before. Also what happened to italics1?
I did read. In the second response I did try to declare my assumption on what I thought that you ment. I did not mean that you have written it but rather that if you were to write that it would be false. I should have worded it like that: “If you mean is Proton a scum you would be wrong.” I wrote about “scum” not “trump scum” which I see now, to you, the latter means someone supporting Trump. Next time I will just ask what do you mean. I am new to these kind of sites and have rarely if ever posted so please excuse my mistake.
at least its proton vpn instead of the scammy ones.
Apparently the CEO of proton is a big trumper now :(

That was referring to Yen’s statement actually, not what you said.
Then why did you quote me 😵💫
Your ability to interact with people on a text forum is very questionable.
He quoted you to disagree with you on your overall point, then went to specifics.
I’m new.

It was taken.
And?
Trusting shady people with your internet traffic and email is generally a bad idea.
They are not “shady” as a company and you know that, you are just doing a political protest
Nothing wrong with that
Careful who you trust, proton is trump scum
Just found out today. this is why we cant have nice things.
What did they do?
You fell for a sensationalising post.
Is it wrong?
If you mean that Proton is a scum you are writing something that is false. Proton is doing many things that are usefull and right. Should I elaborate?
I didn’t write anything, I just asked if the message about proton’s head supporting Trump was false.
Maybe you should have worded the question like that from the beginning. It is hard to tell what you mean otherwise.
No, you just didnt read. The sequence was
This isn’t confusing or ambiguous.

Weird… No response.
I am in a different time zone. It was 3am.
But you still didn’t respond
Should I still be using Surfshark? I only use it because it’s fast.
