Unnecessary and deeply concerning bow to the new “king”

Update: position got backed up by an official Proton post on Mastodon, it’s an official Proton statement now. https://mastodon.social/@protonprivacy/113833073219145503

Update 2, plot-twist: they removed this response from Mastodon - seems they realize it exploded into their face!

Large corporations like google have grown and thrived in Silicon Valley, supported by the politicians of California. So by extension they are partially responsible for enabling these companies to be the giants they are.

According to this article Google has funded 40 elected officials and spent $10.7 million in lobbying California’s legislature and Governor this year alone.

If a president (even a shitty one) was considering putting a damper on companies like google, I would not be against that. We’ll see if anything actually happens.

I’m not ditching Proton over one fucking tweet

Good for you
