Why do privacy focused companies support ring wing extremists? (lemmy.ml)

Why do companies that position themselves as privacy forward support bad ppl, bad ideas, and misinformation?

I recently found out Brave, FUTO, and Proton and have supported shady characters.

Are there any others?

I didn't think it would be so hard to get away from big tech and privacy invasion.

Once I find a privacy and security focused product/app/service I like, I find out they support right wing extremists in one way or another.
