Unnecessary and deeply concerning bow to the new “king”

Update: position got backed up by an official Proton post on Mastodon, it’s an official Proton statement now. https://mastodon.social/@protonprivacy/113833073219145503

Update 2, plot-twist: they removed this response from Mastodon - seems they realize it exploded into their face!

    Growing up, if you had told me half or more of America would end up elevating a rapist to the presidency and prostrating themselves at his feet, I’d have laughed you out of the room. This nation has sunk LOW.

    Bill Clinton won reelection. Now, granted, he was not Trump levels, he was a piece of shit who at the very least abused his role and power over women. Now, even after me too, he’s a beloved elder statesman. Just saying, the nation has sunk lower, but I don’t know that’s a lot lower than where we were when we were kids.

      In a pre-me too world, I think Clinton’s sexual abuse scandal was far too abstract for people to really grasp. I’m not saying it was okay, I’m just saying I understand it not affecting things. But I would’ve hoped we’d be correcting ourselves over time, not getting worse.

      And bombed a pharmaceutical factory in Libya to distract people from the fact he could keep it in his pants
