When called out on it, they then doubled down on this dogshit take: https://archive.ph/quYyb

The initial post could just be chalked up to naivety if we’re feeling charitable, but using the official proton accounts for this stuff is an extremely bad move. Then half-assedly retracting it without acknowledging he posted it, doubling down, and making every classic PR mistake. Aside from potential capitulation to a regime that clearly values power more than human rights, there’s significant risk from a person with such bad judgement having apparently no safeguards or second opinions when he’s posting. What other decisions is he unilaterally making for proton that aren’t publicly known?

This is basically my thinking and why I will be shifting away from their products as well

He’s another mini Elon wannabe, obviously. They’re coming out of the woodwork lately.

I hope people are taking notes so these scum don’t get to skate later when it falls down around their ears.
