This is amazing. People were perfectly okay with ignoring all the red flags in Proton and their products and really okay with buying all their bullshit, then a tweet saying Trump comes up and that's it. lol
๐คท sometimes people grumble quietly until a final straw is added to the stack. Not surprising.
What a piss of an excuse that is ahah
What a piss poor brain you have.
The Trust Thermocline!
What were the red flags?
Huge Red Flag:
/jk lol
But also a big plus. I'm so conflicted.

(this is a huge red flag:)
From what I recall, the red flags included stuff like giving the IP away of activists, having access to private keys while claiming e2e, and taking more info than they claim. I am busy atm, but i can find some links to sources when I get a chance.
What red flags?
