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

Update 2, plot-twist: they removed this response from Mastodon - seems they realize it exploded into their face!

    Because it’s so obvious given the rest of the context? I don’t know, but unless you want to intentionally misunderstand to critique him on things he quite clearly didn’t mean, it makes no sense to assume that:

    • a tech ceo
    • of a company based in Switzerland
    • of a company that is a direct competitor of US tech monopolies
    • citing a tweet about antitrust
    • who spoke before about the very same topic of antitrust and monopolies in tech

    Is talking about big and small business in general in the US economy. Honestly, to me is obvious, maybe the above is not enough for you, in that case I will leave you to your opinion.

    Edit: See https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonMail/comments/1i29k9t/proton_shouldnt_use_their_official_socials_to/m7cqw5j/ where he mentions:

    protecting small companies from Big Tech abuse

      Yes, in the context and ignoring everything else, sure, I agree. But to me, it makes no sense how someone could believe that republicans are somehow pro big business but anti big tech. Talking about these things as if they’re unrelated doesn’t make sense to me. Maybe I’m just missing something, I guess.
