This specific comment thread is focused on that because that was the topic started by the choice of words of the first comment.
The conversation would not have continued in that direction if there was an admission that the only point (which I’m perfectly happy to say it’s an important one) is not really that Proton betrayed anti-Trump principles they had (they didn’t), but that they have proven now being sympathetic towards Trump.
What was said doesn’t even deny the problem, what was said is that this is not surprising. This is as silly as thinking that Zuckerberg is a betrayer because of the recent changes in moderation policy, as if Facebook was ever on the side of any particular political ideology other than their own interests.
What makes you think tuta is gonna oppose all and every policy coming from the far-right including the ones that align with their stated goal of digital privacy? … has tuta stated a goal of being anti-Trump? or is that another assumption on what people think it’s “coming to represent”?
If (hypothetically) tuta had some level of relationship with the Chinese Communist Party (or pick your favorite Trump-opposed party) and made a post about how they are happy about certain changes that are beneficial to their mission, would that be a betrayal of their own principles? I would say it’s not, regardless how many far-right customers might “feel betrayed” if they had some alt-right parasocial image of tuta.

I think we are pretty much in agreement here.
