Is what he’s saying true? That the antitrust laws he’s referring to were started by trump?

Bro, he’s got Musk as a cabinet member and was put into the spotlight by Murdoch and Thiel, and his Supreme Court gives out handies to any CEO that asks.

If he did anti-trust anything it was either by accident, for revenge against a specific company, or intendes to be used as it was in the 1890’s:

To bust unions.

I was looking to use ProtonVPN but since that story, i would prefer an alternative.

What do you guys use for VPN (i think i saw Mullvad in the replies ?)

Mullvad

I thought they were wonderful. Until they got rid of port forwarding, which is the only reason why I was paying them: as a torrenting VPN.

If you don’t need that feature, Mullvad is still great…they take privacy/security seriously! That’s why they got rid of the feature I used haha.

They’ve also been put to the test and passed IMO:

I really don’t understand this compulsion people have to publicly announce their political support.

Like, this guy could have just said nothing, literally just not do anything, and he’d be better off.

That’s not how sucking up to fascists works though.
