Recently, allegations surfaced on Reddit that Proton (or at least Proton’s CEO) supports Trump. Hillary Keverenge from Tech-Issues Today…

I heard people claim for some time that Proton supports the Trump administration. I’ve only ever really seen the claim made based on a single tweet.

This person did a pretty deep dive and comes to the conclusion that they don’t, nor does their CEO.

I’m not saying I know what’s in that guy’s head, nor do I want to. But I’m wary of coming to an extreme conclusion about someone because of a couple of sentences that person wrote online.

    Trump appointed a lackey who appeared to Yen (Proton CEO) to be friendly toward “small tech” companies (as opposed to big tech) so he congratulated the move.

    If someone we don’t like does one thing we do like, are we wrong to praise that one thing?

    Trump took the US out of the TPP, which should be praised by this board. Every once in a while his admin does the right thing for the wrong reasons, and a stopped clock is right twice a day.

    Fuck him for everything else.
