I think it’s smart as a privacy focused initiative to be more neutral than not. Especially as they cater to the masses that may not have as defined an opinion.
Oh i agree. Neutrality doesn’t mean embracing nor endorsing fascism, nor any other extreme.
But humans being humans will always selectively interpret any public facing message to fit their narrative as many have already done here: “Because they aren’t outright condemning or fighting the enemy, they must be working with them! Therefore, they are not friends.”
Case in point: their CEO saying that Trump’s appointment of a famously anti-trust prosecutor into a high ant-trust position was a good thing caused so many people to lose their shit because “Proton is now MAGA” somehow.
