     @soatok This sucks, especially because I won a Proton Lifetime account in a raffle a couple years back (all services current and future, 6TB of cloud storage, and eligible for commercial use).

     But they keep doing shit like this.

     @troed Claiming that Andy Yen praising Trump's antitrust actions against big tech is not the same as him showing Trump support is a false debate on a technicality I'm not willing to get into. @soatok

     @soatok sadly was to be expected after their bigwigs showed support for Trump

     They didn't. And yet people keep claiming differently.

     I have no idea why Mastodoners have this need to lie about one of the better companies we have available for privacy protection.

     @ret @soatok Didn't scroll down fast enough to see your message - first I clicked on the link, and found this nice message:

     > That is classic PR behaviour. You notice a shitstorm happens, you suppress it, that way you can get the time to get a statement out before a shitstorm happens.

     > Have seen that often enough, controversy starts, posts about it get deleted on the sub, a few hours later company apologises. And as seen here, that is exactly what happened.
