I guess Andy or the proton social media team has started using the corporate bluesky account to discuss it now.

Oof, using the Official brand account to post shit like this? ๐Ÿคจ

Did the other 4 board members of his Non-Profit organization (that owns Proton AG btw) approve this, or did Andy Yen got too comfortable and see himself as a king?

Absolutely big off to post that shit from an official account. He's not the only one working at Proton and this is not going to play well with proton users.

I'm seriously thinking about looking at alternatives. He must've gotten too much money now and gone republican.

Hilarious, talks about corporate Dems yet is supporting corporate Republicans. Elon Musk is arguably the face of big tech and so acting like Trump is going to 'do something' to big tech is also delusional. Big tech has already gotten out the checkbooks and kissed the ring down in Florida.

Thiel, Musk, Zuck, and Bezos among others.

It's beyond parody that you'd pretend Republicans aren't owned by corporate and tech interests, I quite frankly don't believe he believes it.

ugh gross they think trump, who has big tech ceos lining up at his door, or the republicans, who want to kill encryption and vpn accesses are going to tackle big tech? welp time to get a refund.
