people cannot live without dragging out an old twitter post

Kind of like that Nazi salute people just can't seem to forget, gosh.

Proton is a stellar VPN.

🤷‍♂️ Perhaps it is. Perhaps Teslas are great cars.

Show me one that doesn't store and sell all the data...

Ah yes, well, if everyone is doing it... 🫪👍👍

    I didn't say the CEO of Proton was a Nazi, lol.

    I think you misunderstood how they were similar to each other. Not the Nazi part, but how people don't easily forget things that break their trust.
