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!

Does anyone have links to the dumpster fire of a reddit thread in one or the Proton subs? There was also one of r/privacy but I can’t find either so suspect they’ve been deleted to try to quell the flames.
It was very entertaining drama
If anyone does have a link send it to me too…it really is being covered up aggressively. Makes me want to drop them more tbh.
Somebody had posted the link elsewhere in this thread. I’d been mistakenly searching u/ProtonSupportTeam for the offending comments rather than u/ProtonTeam

Here’s the r/privacy thread which summarised all the drama, including pointing out all the comments Proton mods were deleting and censoring in their own sub. Then true to form the r/privacy mods deleted the thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/1i210jg/protonmail_supporting_the_party_that_killed/
Thank you so much! Very interesting to see their reactions as well. Really interesting to see the damage control since it can say a lot about their stance
