if you do not comply with court orders of the country you are based in, you can close up shop

This is exactly the case for every VPN and network operator. Some take steps to remediate issues around anonymity, and some even offer ways to pay anonymously, but no company is going to break the law for you.

I have issues with Proton's head being far too conciliatory to Trump, but the email thing wasn't something they could do anything about, because it's an inherent flaw with how email works; it was a court order to which they were compelled to comply, whether they wanted to or not.

Also this agai?

There are tons of reports on this bullshit. Yes he is a moron and an idiot that he posted something like that and that he doubled down on it.

But agreeing with a statement from somebody doesn't mean you completely support that person. If you want to be able to form good discussions you have to look at the opinions from a person on that subject, not how big of an asehole the other person is. That is playing on the man and is going to cause issues.

Andy Yen broadly supported the Republican Party. As did the official Proton account's official statement on the matter.

Link? The only thing I saw was this https://x.com/andyyen/status/1864436449942110660 and this https://archive.ph/quYyb

Both are very stupid, but the moment that you fall in a 2 party system and you cannot agree on statements of the other party is when politics really fall apart.

People will be playing on the man, blaming the “other” party and basically nothing is getting done. If you want to get stuff done you have to find compromises.
