Unnecessary and deeply concerning bow to the new “king”

No one going to comment the Trump absolutely did not write that? Read it; completely coherent, proper English, all that.
Does anyone have info on the ‘two anti trust bills’ the official account is talking about?
The two antitrust bills associated with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer are:
-
American Innovation and Choice Online Act (AICOA): Sponsored by Sen. Amy Klobuchar, this bill aimed to prevent Big Tech platforms like Amazon from favoring their own products over competitors’ in online marketplaces[1][3].
-
Open App Markets Act (OAMA): Led by Sen. Richard Blumenthal, this bill sought to curb Apple and Google’s dominance in the app ecosystem by promoting fair competition and limiting self-preferencing[1][3].
Despite bipartisan support, Schumer did not bring these bills to a vote, effectively stalling their progress[1][3].

Thank you very much!!

I guess Andy or the proton social media team has started using the corporate bluesky account to discuss it now.
Muted and blocked. Got it.
Oof, using the Official brand account to post shit like this? 🤨
Did the other 4 board members of his Non-Profit organization (that owns Proton AG btw) approve this, or did Andy Yen got too comfortable and see himself as a king?
Absolutely big off to post that shit from an official account. He’s not the only one working at Proton and this is not going to play well with proton users.
I’m seriously thinking about looking at alternatives. He must’ve gotten too much money now and gone republican.
The fuck? Way to flush the credibility they built down the drain.
Was considering them, now I’m not. I’ll keep using mullvad.
Makes me feel a lot less confident about having a protonmail account. Best alternatives for privacy?
Keep in mind this is only one of five board members of the Non-Profit that owns Proton AG
Thank you.
Perhaps riseup if youre an anarchist or posteo if youre willing to pay a low fee?
I use posteo myself. Its alright and reliable. Would try Riseup (kinda got political) but idk anyone to ask for an invite code
Tuta?
Best? Hosting an encrypted email server in your own house. As a service, mailfence seems to be a decent alternative
Speedrun any% to kiss that ring
Yikes. I was just about to shell out for Proton VPN, but now I won’t.
I would suggest Mullvad as a trustworthy alternative.
I was wondering, is proton as trustworthy as everybody says? I generally dislike it because its closed source, but that makes sense considering they have to host servers. but this makes it seem… uncredible. any alternative to protonmail?
I generally dislike it because its closed source
I mean, the user clients are open source (right? correct me if I’m wrong). So if you compile it yourself, it should be safe.
So for the contents of email, drive, calandar, those things should be safe. They could secretly keep a log of metadata and IP addresses, tho. The VPN, yea that is basically just requiring trust
Also, Proton AG is now controlled by a Non-Profit organization, Andy Yen is only one of the five board members.
FFS. Unfortunately there really isn’t a good alternative to Proton right now (don’t @ me about Tuta until you’ve seen how much downtime they had recently).
I believe that but it would be good to have a source and an archive of the original tweet.

Not the first time, he also paised trump for… checks notes posing for a photo right after he (supposedly) got shot.
https://x.com/andyyen/status/1812442643726537182
Like that was the dumbest thing to do after getting shot, standing out in the open so a second shooter have time to aim again, how is that worthy of a praise?
But keep in mind, this guy is only one of five board members of the Non-Profit organization that owns Proton AG.
Thanks, you’re awesome! (I could not find those sources by myself…)
Maybe he is talking about height?
