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!

Spyware was just an example? Proton is all about privacy and this board member is saying good things about a guy who doesn't think us peasants should have any.

I agree that this isn't the worst thing to ever happen. But I also agree with the people saying he shouldn't have said anything.

You’re still reaching. A privacy company praising a spyware company is not the same as one member of a board on his own praising Trump for something not even related to privacy. Stop forcing this. You’re reaching.
