It isn’t about politics so much as endorsing a party that is openly hostile towards Proton customers. LGBT, immigrants, journalists, progressives, etc for example who paid for Proton explicitly for privacy protection against any upcoming persecution by the group he is praising.
With this endorsement there is the concern not only will they not protect these customers but will loudly align themselves against them and cause harm. It questions their ethics and business decisions as well to make such a major public relations mistake. Will they create a secret backdoor or anything else with their endorsement?
