    How did both him and and the rest of the board think this was a smart thing to stand by? Does he really think people interested in privacy also support Trump?

      Thankfully privacy is not (yet) a left/right issue. Plenty of rightwingers that also care about privacy and plenty of leftwingers that don’t.

        Privacy is a human rights issue. Right now, it’s a fight of corporations vs the people. Unfortunately most corporations are great at lobbying against the people, and republicans are quite known for already violating human rights.

      You really think the entire customer base cares about this?

        You’re getting downvoted but I know a handful of privacy minded tech guys who would support Proton even more because of this. I also know quite a few people who share his perspective. And yeah propaganda is definitely in the mix, but maybe just maybe the Democrat party should own some of this themselves.
