How do you mean? How is starting a bunch of anti-trust and pro-consumer “hardly a point for anti big-tech”?
The facts are these: Republicans, under Trump, started these processes. Democrats mostly opposed them, because they were defaulting to “Trump = bad”.
The apolitical stance of Proton means that they don’t do that defaulting. If Republicans do something good for privacy, anonymity (lol), or consumers, Proton will approve. If Dems do the same - proton will approve. If Greens (or whatever the pseudo “third party” calls itself) does it - Proton will approve.
That’s all there is to it.
But we now live in times where people assume approving of “something XYZ did”, automatically means “approving of XYZ”, which is stupid, reductive, and destructive.
For example, it leads otherwise sensible people to boycott an excellent product, just because its CEO said “the appointment of someone famously anti big-tech to a high anti-trust position in the DOJ is a good thing”.
Oh I do recall him mucking about with Google and Apple and Meta, but with how fickle that man is, that’s hardly a point for anti big-tech
