Official company announcement, not only personal one.

Proton has position itself as a service for those who want to avoid big tech spying on them and unfair government prosecution. It is then very charring that they officially support a party that is trying to go out of their way to reduce women/lgbtq rights and invited the whole cabal of big tech as guests of honor to the innaguration.

If their mission and their messages do not align, it's normal that customers are concerned.

I would be concerned of they officially supported any other party, but this case is specially outrageous.

Be a bit practical here people, Imagine the right-wingers saying "Oh no, he donated to left wingers, reeeeeeeee"

This might be sarcasm right? They went full reeee with Nike, Gillette, Budweiser, Costco....
