MODERATORS
Trump has never been honest about any of his intentions through his whole life. Proton isn't even based in the US, so how would the US even subpoena them in the first place. The CEO's statements make no sense.
They didn't need subpoena, or any other "legal" means if the ones in control are complicit.
That's aside from the point I was making. Some people might be thinking that Proton is cozying up to Trump to avoid getting unfavorable treating from his admin and they don't really like him, but they're out of Trump's reach, so that can't be the motivator.
No matter what angle, Andy Yen is just dumb.
