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!

He went after big tech as a punishment for fact checking the bullshit coming from his administration and his followers. That was it.

This exactly. We have to remember that the stricter moderation policies on several of the big tech social media platforms had got trump banned from them. At that time, trump was incensed with them and had promised retaliation. That was the only reason he was going against the big tech companies.

Now that all big tech has turned away from democrats (probably as punishment for their antitrust lawsuits), we will see a much different perspective from the Trump administration.

Exactly. Lina Khan bought several cases anti trust cases against big tech but they were thrown out by the republican biased courts. Hell republicans even tried to hound and harass khan over the cases she was bringing
