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.

This article was written by an anonymous/throwaway Medium account. For all we know, it was written by a PR firm they hired. Corporate propaganda has zero credibility, and the anonymity makes it impossible to verify that it’s anything else.
And if anything, now that time has proven that Trump/Vance were, in fact, worse than everyone was saying, it’s further reason to hate Proton for using their influence/reach to support them. Did it help them win the whitehouse? Hard to say, but even in the best case scenario, it comes off as a lame, opportunistic move to advertise their services to MAGA and profit off political turmoil.
