WTF? Fuck the corporate democrats / neoliberals, yes. Doesn’t mean you need to fawn over literal fucking fascists. Y’all think Peter Thiel and Elon Musk and the cadre of billionaires they have lined up for their administration are going to “tackle Big Tech abuses?”

What the fucking fuck, man?

Update: Proton deleted their post. Here’s a screenshot of it I took at the time because this ain’t my first rodeo.

@aral @protonprivacy I didn’t start my subscription to Proton that long ago either. So fricking annoyed I’m going to need to find a new provider and transfer everything again

@soydelbierzo @aral Someone on the Fedi told me Tuta was problematic but didn’t go into much detail. You can’t seem to win. I did email foundation@proton.me to let them know that I’m pissed and will switch services. Hopefully they disavow this and find a new ceo

@wonkothesane @soydelbierzo @aral This is what I have about @Tutanota :

They were so proud to welcome Donald Trump and his family: https://web.archive.org/web/20220224190113/https://tutanota.com/blog/posts/trump-family-encryption/

Their defense? it was a "joke" https://tuta.com/blog/trump-family-encryption yeah right

I know a few small french providers who are riding the shitstorm of #protonmail . I wonder why tuta is not.

If there is something more, I am all hear.

@dallo @wonkothesane @soydelbierzo @aral This was meant sarcastically. In the original, we changed the image to include a FAKE NEWS banner - because this article was made up entirely. It was during our early days, and we had to be creative to get people to know about Tutanota. However, the joke was not received too well so we took the post off our blog. Being Germans, we might not be the most competent in making jokes. ;) Sorry about that!

@Tutanota @wonkothesane @soydelbierzo @aral alright. as a non-english I can get a lost in translation but it is not about me.

Since it was the past, what is #Tuta current state about the multi-felon, fraudster, sexual predator, minor groomer, transphobic, conspiracy theorist, racist, ableist, shithead that Donald #Trump is?

Since you are Germans, what do you think of the islamophobic, conservatist, nazionalist, euroscepticist, climate denialist, chauvinist that the #AfD is?

They also used a picture (SFW) from a gangbang porn to advertise once, but they seem to have mellowed down about the edgy marketing thankfully, But in my mind they are always connected to that image of 8 buff black dudes standing around a small woman, it's kind of a really yikes image to leave behind.

@sotolf @Tutanota @wonkothesane @soydelbierzo @aral Wasn't aware of that. Playing with meme culture can be hit or miss without a good understanding of how people can received this kind of image

@dallo @Tutanota @wonkothesane @soydelbierzo @aral

Yeah, it's really hard, I also am not great at it, some times judgment just fails, or it's a cultural difference, I'm not American, so I have shared things that I found funny, to have something lying deeper in context that I didn't get.

I also used to be a lot more insensitive than what I am now, but there is a reason I'm not in marketing or doing that kind of thing, because it's not something that I would be a good fit for :p
