A great Medium article on the topic that analyzes the entire situation: (coming to the conclusion that no, Proton does not really seem to be in favor of Trump/MAGA at all given their actual actions, and how the original statement was misinterpreted)
He’s weirdly a MAGA Trump supporter and publicly supporting them from the official Proton account, despite not being an American citizen. It’s a crazy take, but he is a CEO, so those kind of people stick together.
I’m not saying that Proton is MAGA. I’m saying its CEO and founder is. He was literally quote-boosting and giving his support to a tweet that said “Make America Great Again.”
Read the article. He promote election of anti big tech person to ftc by trump. And then say that trump start anti big tech thing in last office time, which just a fact.
Not because trump good, but because trump do something against big tech.
Honestly person users deserve whatever they get for supporting that weirdo ceo

I use a service zero people have associated with the GOP/MAGA/Nazis
This comment just shows some people have their heads in the ground
What if maga align with you instead?
Because this what happen to proton ceo. Proton appreciate anti big tech, trump start some anti big tech stuff, now elect anti big tech ftc person.
Proton need to be pro big tech or are nazi?
This comment under that article really shows some people just want to be angry
The fact that this article had to be written in the first place is the dealbreaker for me
So fact that people misinterpret and misinform other dealbreaker for correct information?
You definitely antivax and probably flat earther.
Definitely not, but ok. You seem very upset about this. Hope you feel better
The fact you need correct this is dealbreaker to me.

I read it, and disagree.
Is this referring to anything beside his tweet in Jan?
I believe the tweet was from December, but this article has the timeline.

Yeah, let’s wait till we find out that they actually can and do unencrypt our data.
What could go wrong?
Aaaand there it is.
