They keep making right wing mistakes though. I think that points to something.
what's a left wing mistake that they might get called out for?
Lots of other companies seem to easily avoid voicing support for fascists both directly with their own words or via sponsorship money. Weird how Proton can’t seem to figure it out. If they can’t even get the little stuff right why would I trust them with my data?
If we just look at browsers:
Plenty of big companies have supported fascists in one way or another
