Proton is owned by an actual non-profit (not one of those fake once you have in the US) and Andy is only 1/3rd of it so he cannot really do much alone, plus he still needs to follow the objective for the non-profit otherwise he can be held personally responsible.

Personally, I live in a country where you can vote for hundreds of politicians, and we have multiple parties ruling the country and I don't believe that agreeing with one statement is enduring anybody.

Still, Andy Yen is an idiot and Proton needs some extra governance structure to keep him in check (firing him is going to be a hard one since he still owns shares IIRC). Believe what you want and choose to use Proton or not, but it doesn't help the cause for the people to be more critical without giving context.

This was said by Andy directly: https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:640/format:webp/19_3JV1BBIZjAYkoTDQzOlg.png This was said by Andy through Proton: https://archive.ph/quYyb And this was his later comment from his own account: https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:720/format:webp/1Pz-ct2LGRpxWdKsHSZu1Rg.png

That was a verrry disappointing and tone deaf comment from him, yeah. He could have said that neither party is committed to Proton's values and been done with it, instead he kissed the ring.

That’s what I said - Russia, GOP… no difference

Yeah I’m not buying any excuses. One supports trump, one gets the fuck out.
