Yeah Andy Yen was specifically talking about Gail Slater's antitrust support while the democrats had ties to corporate lobbies and voted on the wrong side of things. He apologized for appearing to be republican.
If you look at proton's finances they all donate towards left organizations, promoting freedom and privacy, even donating to a liberal news organization.
I'm sick and tired of all these people bashing on proton because of one tweet that was taken out of context.
Bash on Proton for not being open source enough but don't bash on them for this same tweet over and over again.
