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!

      I think the big difference is what the companies stand for.

      If the CEO of The Anti-Spyware Company comes out in support of Spyware, is that not significantly worse than the CEO of The Spyware Company doing the same?

      I supported The Anti-Spyware companies because of what they believed in. Now that is in question.

      FWIW I don’t use Proton but switching to it was in my 2025 plans. Not so sure about that anymore…

      I am good with computers but not good enough to roll my own entire email/calendar/cloud storage system

      NextCloud is almost an “out of the box” experience for all of these.
