Remember, this is the same guy who, last year, posted an explicitly pro-Republican Tweet on the official Proton account, and then backtracked and tried to say they were apolitical. In his excuses, he used the extremely right-wing coded phrase "triggered" in a way that perfectly matched the way right-wingers use the term, and when called out for that he claimed he was "unaware that triggered is offensive" because "I don't live in the US so I really don't have ready a list of words people are not allowed to use". Some very right-winger-complains-about-cancel-culture–coded language right there, and an excuse that falls apart the moment you realise that it would require being in tune with right-wing language enough to have used "triggered" accurately in the first place, that his complaints simply don't work.
