  • I think you’re extremely confused as to what Proton is and the service they offer.

    I also think it’s because you’re falling (or have fallen) into the tribalist view of “if you’re not with us, you’re against us, and if you’re against them, you’re with us”.

    Proton is a-political, pro-agenda. Their agenda is “net neutrality, privacy, security”. They don’t care who makes that happen, and will support anyone who fights for these things.

    They won’t take an antifascist position because that would put them on the political spectrum.

    I also understand that - to you - not making that statement already puts them on the political spectrum, in the opposing camp, but that’s, again, due to the tribalist views.

    They’ve praised left-wingers and right-wingers, they’ve criticised Democrats and Republicans - as long as anyone pushes for their agenda, they will praise them, as long as someone threatens their agenda, they will criticise them. That’s all there is to it.

  • Maybe because it’s a bit like if someone said “I got the test results, I don’t have cancer”, and that dude replied with “the fact that you think cancer is the only danger you should be concerned about is telling”.

    Sure, it’s technically correct, but it’s obnoxious and, without any further context, just seems to be off-topic.

  • The one that should have been written immediately after outrage began, and ideally before removing dozens if not hundreds of posts and comments covering this topic.

    For what it’s worth - apparently they said they’re crafting a response fairly early, kept one of the original threads and removed the rest as duplicates.

    But I don’t know if that’s really the case.
