There’s an article somewhere where someone did a deep dive and ultimately concluded that the Protons CEO views do not coincide with that of Trump or his party.

Would you have that link by any chance? That would be neat to use as a counter argument.

I am assuming he means this post from the community you linked.

Thanks!

The top comment on that thread seems to counter the arguments quite extensively

Yeah completely omitting Slater's work lobbying on behalf of big tech like Google and Facebook to increase data mining when the whole defense hinged on that she'd be good for little tech made the medium article seem more like it was from a corporate PR stream. So intentionally deceiving playing up identity politics or not doing its due diligence what a quick wikipedia and Google search of the person Yen glazed over would reveal.

Her past is too questionable for a privacy company to endorse. But, move from Google to proton is still an improvement at the end of the day with its country of origin being its strength despite whatever the founder ceo may think.
