Yeah, this is not really an own against Proton... There's other actual issues with the services and leadership that are more serious

    The one comment by one person on the 5-person board who was supportive of one singular person that Trump had picked? That one?

    I'm not a fanboy here. I just hate misinformation.

    And thanked Trump for their effort against BigTech.

    You hate misinformation but you sure know how to cherry pick.

    What's your motivation to downplay it, fanboyism?

    Who said anything about downplaying? This is how law works. If you are a company operating in any particular country, you have a legal obligation to follow the laws of said country. And if that means handing over data because you were subpoenaed? Tough titties, cough it up. Or get arrested for failing to comply. And this includes your own data if you choose to self-host your own email.

    Don't mistake me understanding the law for agreeing with the law.

    You downplayed the positive remarks towards Trump by claiming it was "one of five" instead of a co-founder and CEO.

    To give the full X post that you seemed to not be aware of when claiming "misinformation" through others;

    (First sentence is what you've claimed people pull out of context) Great pick by @realDonaldTrump

    The rest of his post was:

    . 10 years ago, Republicans were the party of big business and Dems stood for the little guys, but today the tables have completely turned. People forget that the current antitrust actions against Big Tech were started under the first Trump admin.

    Now if this is enough to dislike proton is up to debate, especially after their announcement back and forth afterwards. Claiming. Like you did, that it's "just praising the choice for one role by one of five board members" though ... Sounds like "downplaying" to me.
