An affiliate or sponsorship arrangement is a transactional placement for awareness, not an endorsement of a creator's views.
Uh, that’s kind of how this works. You might have your own corporate definition of sponsorship and endorsement but at the end of the day, it’s at the very least tacit approval
Always hold companies responsible! Call them out and make them publicly respond. Shop local, fuck corporations!
So I have had other problems with Proton, but they are handling this a hell of a lot better than GOG did.

Honestly...good response. Own up to their error instead of ducking. Explain how it happened, and accept the responsibility of making sure it doesn't happen again. Well written with a good message.
That's why I'm leaving proton and it's community. Lots of drama and political shit that I don't want to know, not to mention the whole thing where proton from just an email provider, now sells VPN and other services l.
