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

we just need to show them the truth

I once read this on lemmy and it stuck with me. I think it applies here:

The autistic trait that bites me in the ass most often is the unshakable belief that if I can just show someone the truth, they'll believe me.

True for me, and worse, I never seem to learn.

More and more, I approach wishing everyone was autistic lmao
