I owe you an apology.

I wasn’t fully informed on this whole matter.

I’m sorry.

This wasn’t the best place to post about it, I suppose. As someone else mentioned, something like out of the loop might have been a better community to ask about this.

LOL! They’re not pro Trump.

And apparently the CEO made the right call when he said he was in favor of the woman they had picked at the head of the antitrust division. Because she apparently did her job and was later fired for doing so.

That’s not exactly that I meant. Though these were the allegations made against an admin by some on .world.

Anyway, other users provided detailed comments that explain it much better. I understand better the situation now.

Thank you.

Yeah i can see how my post can be interpreted that way. Indeed outoftheloop might have been a better place to ask.

I’m glad that some of you provided more details and explanations.

Thank you very much for the well written comment. I really appreciate you taking the time to explain this in detail and providing a reference.

And yeah. Fuck fascism in all its forms.

Israel is the objective of zionism. It’s the result of the ideology itself.

That’s why I’m asking?

I knew this wasn’t going to be a popular post. But it’s a very valid concern. This instance is the largest and most popular one (I think?) and having heard those claims, I really want to make sure.

This is something that’s really important to me.

Why there hasn’t been any real sanctions against Isreal at this point is infuriating.

There’s a couple of channels that I really enjoy on there.

Yeah i did

Name one more thing the CEO said or did, or that the company Proton said or did after that, that equals what any of the big GAFAM did.

Finance the elections of a fascist that’s destroying democracy? Manipulating people’s opinion through their control of near totality of today’s most consimed media? Provide financing and tools to genociding nations? Sell your private information for profit? Provide all your personal information to governments without consent or without warrants for no reason? Underpay their employees? Literally hoarding all the world’s fortune?

Go ahead.

I’m sure that one comment on social media had a HUUUGE impact on the world and probably helped elect a despot and enabled rogue terrorist nations to commit genocides.

Until there’s an alternative, I’m affraid I can’t.

Fucking hell, let it go. God damn. It’s the ONLY time he said something stupid.

So? Did he go off and finance Trump’s elections? Or finance any other fascists for that matter? Does he sell your data or does he respect your privacy? Did him or the company do any of the things that Amazon, Google, Apple, Facebook, etc have done?

The answer is no.

The CEO made a dumb comment about one of Trump’s picks for a role at one point. That’s it. Big fucking whoop.

This is the problem with some of the folks out there. Some of y’all are asking someone or something to be absolutely 100% perfect and pure. You’d rather see something that has any potential of actually becoming something good and a real alternative and a competition to the big fascist eites out there die because of some small detail than pushing for its success despite it’s few flaws. Just like the Americans with the last presidential elections, who decided to snub Kamala Harris because she wasn’t elected in a democratic primary election, and instead let a blatantly fascsistic, opressive dictator fuck up their democracy to send the Democrats a message.

Until Proton becomes the next bad guy, I’m sticking with them because they’re the only real alternative to what Google offers: an all in one package that’s incredibly convenient.

It’s not that bad
