This is just dumb. Watch the Republicans ban VPNs and erode his business while he's busy licking boots.

I'm guessing this happened after Yen said that he'd stop propagating his personal political views via Proton's official accounts? It seems to be a copy-and-paste of what he posted on Reddit.

While I chose Proton over Mulvad given the benefits of port forwarding for torrenting, even port forwarding isn't worth funding the propagation of far-right propaganda.

People can argue all they want in favor of him just supporting whichever party passes pro-privacy legislation (won't be the republicans; makes me wonder if Yen supports state PornHub bans out of the financial interest of boosting VPN sales...), but ignoring social issues in the process makes his 'neutrality' reminiscent of opportunistic nazi sympathizers in Switzerland during World War II...
