    I can TASTE the prompt from this image

    The Proton founder is Pro MAGA that should be the end of it for most of you. I’m never going to leave Njalla for my VPN needs

      While I agree that the response is heavily AI generated, I have to disagree that he’s pro-Maga. He reached out to both democrats and republicans to talk about the importance of privacy and the democrats turned him down (or entirely ignored him) while the republicans met with him.

      He then went on Xitter to shame the Dems and said that the Republicans seemed to be the party caring about privacy.

      He’s definitely a dumbass for trying to play it that way, but he did not come out in support of Maga.

      He was not pro maga just because he could gain an audience with GOP members but not dems on a lobbying trip. There has never been a single shred of evidence showing he is pro maga, and at this point I’m just going to assume it’s a smear campaign against a Google competitor.

      Change my mind. I dare anyone to show the proof.

        How does that make sense? Google is also maga. Hell, YouTube is one of the biggest rabbit holes for extremism in general. They could tune their algorithms for anything they wanted - it’s pretty clear.

        For Proton we’ll it’s easy to say there is no evidence after dismissing all of it. How maga of you.

          that’s not how most people think about google, and so it could be used (even by google) to smear competitors with being pro-maga. it matters more for the users of the competitor than it does for the users of google.

          I also have yet to see any evidences of Andy Yen being a Maga supporter.

          Would you care ro point us to the evidence you claim is being dismissed?
