Proton CEO Andy Yen is a libertarian tech bro who supports Trump. Tech bros are a societal cancer, willing to kill the many to benefit the few.
A great Medium article on the topic that analyzes the entire situation: (coming to the conclusion that no, Proton does not really seem to be in favor of Trump/MAGA at all given their actual actions, and how the original statement was misinterpreted)

Do you have any other sources beyond the one tweet bandied about to back this up?
I don’t disagree with your statement, I’m just genuinely curious because I haven’t heard much about his personal politics beyond that
I did hear about his politics, it’s years and years of progressive actions, donating to pro-LGBT and pro-women causes, and criticizing conservatives.
But he once said an anti-big tech FCC pick is a good thing which means he’s MAGA.
Switched to Tuta myself, Proton CEO sucks.
You don’t even need to dislike them because of that. There has never been any indication that their VPN is private and their record of turning over customer data proves that.
Turning over encrypted customer data. Like they have to, per the law.
How do u get past the 6 month deletion for inactive accounts? I’ve lost my account like that and stupidly I had banks and social media on it. I never check emails, but I need an email address to reset a password if need be. Funnily now I can’t reset passwords :`(
Didn’t they ban a Journalist at the request of a Cybersecurity council ?
I remember it being some kind of “mistake” that they “fixed” once it made the news, but yeah. 😑
Exactly, they revert back when they saw the public uproar.
a redaction joke from trump supporters.

I opted for FastMail over Proton because fuck Protonmail’s CEO. With FastMail, I’m blissfully ignorant of their politics. (ruin it for me if needed.)

So it got Richard Gere’d.

And neither would Proton…
