They are doing no such thing. https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonMail/comments/1u05xs2/comment/oqgihvq/
" You’re right to raise this, and we want to address it directly and provide you important context on how this happened.
Vincent Lapierre’s channel should never have been part of our affiliate and sponsorship program, because we intentionally avoid association with channels whose content could distract from our message and divide our community. "
I feel like the privacy “scene” is getting psyopped lately. Been seeing social drama digs at grapheneos lately too.
Recently had someone arguing that GrapheneOS is Israeli intelligence gathering. They sounded like they were down some dark conspiracy rabbit hole and/or spent to much time chatting with an LLM as they genuinely had some psychosis red flags. 😬
Tbf there’s probably very little not pwned by CIA and the 5 eyes.
Well… they did it. Right up until the issue was raised and now they will presumably not do it anymore.
But saying “They are doing no such thing.” is kinda disingenuous when they just admitted doing it in their stated clarification 50minutes ago and the sponsorship contract is probably not even actually cancelled yet.
Also they deleted all of the posts about it on their own subreddit, claiming they are duplicates (and they didn’t leave up an original). Plain old damage control censorship hurray!
Why does this thread get downvoted? I’m not on reddit, I wouldn’t know about it if it wasn’t shared here.
No, they didn’t. He signed up for an affiliate link that he has used on his own. While this should not have happened either, it is something entirely different than Proton approaching him and offering him a sponsorship.
Thanks for pointing out the detail, I didn’t know that.
But I don’t see how that changes the situation. He got funds through the affiliate link. From Porton. Sounds like funding to me.
Lemmy does not appreciate criticism of their favorite poster child Proton
We’re not children we can handle critisism. What we’ve no time for is brainwashed roasters spreading misinformation.
Misinformation? Like when Proton is pretending that it’s a non-profit even though it isn’t?
Reddit blocks Mullvadvpn but I noticed Tor browser loads the page just fine.
If you are shocked about this, you didn’t read what the Proton CEO said about Trump
