The article is from December, so the interviewer couldn't have asked about their CEO's recent betrayal: https://insights.priva.cat/p/does-proton-still-stand-for-anything

Please summarize in what way he betrayed anyone?
Because I see nothing in that article.
People and businesses are allowed to have political opinions. I can disagree with them (or not) while still respecting the service they provide.

People feel betrayed that he kissed Trump’s ring, so to speak. But that’s CEOs for you. The bourgeoisie have class solidarity.

@anonymous comment still stands. Your previous comment doesn't indicate how he is incorrect, if that is what you're suggesting.

No indeed.
But supporting an administration (in any medium) whose inauguration included a Nazi salute does, in fact, make you a fascist.
And no: it doesn't matter if you previously did something good.
It's really not that complicated,

Proton has a business model where they want the user to put their eggs all in one basket. If you want that kind of userbase you need to leave your personal politics out of it. The problem isn't that the CEO is right wing. It's that he is very publicly right wing. Supports a known huckster. And lastly could be vying for a role in the administration. All of this calls into question just for how long Proton will be secure before they are selling user info to the state.
Politics are very fucking important in terms of security when you're a whistleblower or dissident.

Fair point. But no adult who is paying attention needed the salute to understand the contempt that Musk has for the rule of law.
He marshalled an attack on the capital. No non-fascist does that.

Quit letting politics ruin our collective ability to drive by suggesting to people that Volkswagen is now an evil company. They support Hitler because they think his business policies will benefit their company. True or false as that may be their company is still great at making cars and we shouldn't be infighting about that.

The tweet he commented on was indeed a nice idea, but a CEO should have more foresight that the things Trump stated in it would not be true.
When you look at it now, it looks like it was more or less a threat that led to a closer relationship between "tech bros" and the current administration instead of the "take down" of them. -

Trump isn't the politician I most loathe. He's just the only politician that I've ever feared might kill or imprison me purely for who I am.
