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?
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.
Sure, if we want to talk details, not everyone. But in a service that’s meant for privacy, a fundamentally left-leaning topic, then yea it’d piss off more people than the few supporters
Like best case some people will just think you’re stupid, worst case you lose out on long time paid customers for literally no benefit
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.

What a way to alienate your entire customer base
Thankfully privacy is not (yet) a left/right issue. Plenty of rightwingers that also care about privacy and plenty of leftwingers that don’t.
