I have dozens of things more relevant to be worried about. If you think it's bad that part of the society doesn't really care about what a CEO is tweeting, maybe you have a really good life, or maybe you're going to burn out soon.

And other people who are apathetic to the issue deserve what they get. The problem is that this does not function as social darwinism, so their idiocy drags the rest of us down with them.

Found a userscript that auto-redirects X posts to it. Ironically it says in the description that the script was made using Grok 😭

All this drama is a nothingburger to me and a complete waste of time.

That was one guy (their CEO) expressing his personal support for one thing Trump did. Proton released a statement claiming that their company as a whole does not support any political stance or affiliation.

The first part was a statement that was backed by the board (this after the CEO guy doubled down on supporting Trump when questioned).

The second part almost merits no explainer: saying you are "neutral" on politics is the same as saying you favour those why already have the power - the oligarchs and those who maintain the status quo.

their support for Trump.

Proton haters (and anti-privacy groups) blew it up into a whole ordeal to try and discredit Proton as a service. But it was literally just one dude being an out-of-touch idiot on his own personal account.

I'm not saying Proton is perfect, but it's one of the better privacy services out there today, so of course governments and politicians, and anti-privacy organizations are looking to tear them down. They don't want true privacy; they need the illusion of privacy, while maintaining their back doors into everyone's business.

They have every other platform for their marketing.
