Unnecessary and deeply concerning bow to the new "king"

Update: position got backed up by an official Proton post on Mastodon, it's an official Proton statement now. https://mastodon.social/@protonprivacy/113833073219145503

~~Someone's account got hacked?~~

~~Gonna wait some time in case this is an account hack.~~

Edit: Also can I just say that Proton's cloud drive thing suck ass. Like on the mobile app you cant even download an entire folder, you have to manually download the files, and if you download more than 25 files at once, it gets buggy and not all files get downloaded.

Edit 2: Oof, this motherfucker got some weird "Libertarian" vibes

Why he gotta praise trump's stupidity? Who the fucks stands there like an idiot when there could be more than 1 shooter? Its nothing to praise, its stupidity to stand there, if there was a second shooter, his dumbass would be dead.

Edit 3: Btw Proton is controlled by a board of five people:

This dude is just one of five, no need to switch providers yet, but it is a bit concerning...
