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!

    I definitely care about the opinions of CEOs because it directly lets me know which companies to support or not.

    If a CEO is a trash, then I don’t want to give them my money. Simple capitalism, that.

      Again, why should I care? The company does not only consist of the CEO, which is also why I‘m interested in the things a company does, and not what a CEO says.

        Worth noting the company’s official account doubled down on the same, further up in this thread.

        I only care to the extent that companies are seen as people that can exercise free speech by donating tons of money to politicians. So seeing where a CEO might lean will change my mind about the future of said company.

        With that said, I’d love for companies to just be companies and the people running them to be separate, but it’s all to intertwined in my opinion.

        So with that logic, we should not care about the president because theres other cogs in the system?
