Unnecessary and deeply concerning bow to the new "king"

Update: position got backed up by an official Proton post on Mastodon, it's an official Proton statement now. https://mastodon.social/@protonprivacy/113833073219145503

Update 2, plot-twist: they removed this response from Mastodon - seems they realize it exploded into their face!

It's probably just a language thing. When he says small people he means sub-mega corporations. Actual humans probably pass beneath his notice.

So you’re thinking he means small in terms of Proton vs Google.

Well, he's clearly not talking about small people like say, me or you compared to Trump or Musk. And let me be clear, he is probably wrong about that as well. If Trump is anti-google that is likely nothing more than a negotiating position.

I just assumed Google was kissing the ring to avoid antitrust.
