Additionally, I will tackle a few of the points expressed in the Reddit post:

1. "the X post was not intended to be a political statement" - It is quite clearly a political statement.

2. "While we will not prohibit all employees from expressing personal political opinions publicly, it is something I will personally avoid in the future" - Nobody asks employees to refrain from expressing personal opinions publicly. It is not a requirement that should even be considered. But as a CEO, any public statement can be more easily attributed to the company as a whole, therefore we asked Proton for their position regarding the subject. The answer (or lack of answers) we received was less than satisfactory.
