    If you’re still using Proton mail:

    The company is sponsoring the videos of French far-right / fascist YouTuber Vincent Lapierre.

    If encryption is part of your vision for a better society, find a better service provider.

    The Reddit post linked in this toot has some additional info.

    tl;dr: it’s as bad as it looks.

      No, you're making stuff up because it's apparently important for you to act like an ass towards Proton.

      Occam's razor is pretty clear on an asian person using the number 88 and you claiming it must have something to do with nazi dogwhistles.

      And no, an affiliate program is not sponsorship. And no, Andy saying that a single person in Trump's previous cabinet had a history of supporting small tech vs big tech was not a "Trump endorsement" and all the other conspiracy theories you managed to drag up in this thread.

      @troed @Infoseepage @gotofritz @slothrop So by staying with Proton as a paing customer doesn't mean my money ends up funding neofascists? Because that is really not what I want. But to be honest, as a working father of a 2yo I really lack the time and motiviation of migrating all my accounts again.

        Correct, there's absolutely nothing even fash-adjacent with Proton.

        (I'm a Visionary customer of Proton's - and I'm as opposite to authoritarian as can possibly be. They're doing good stuff with my money)

                        @Infoseepage Proton literally screwed up their vetting, owns the mistake and will correct their procedure from now on.

                          (from the Reddit thread - which also includes comments from people who know that AIs are trained on how PR people write which, incidently, is why output from PR persons sound that way ... and yes, the same department I worked at also had the Developer Communication _PR and marketing trained_ people and that's what it looks like)

                                  @slothrop I opened an issue and got the following response (in German) from Proton:

                                  Hallo,

                                  Dies ist eine Folge-E-Mail.

                                  Wir möchten Ihnen wichtige Hintergrundinformationen zu diesem Vorfall geben.

                                  Der Kanal von Vincent Lapierre hätte niemals Teil unseres Partner- und Sponsoringprogramms sein dürfen, da wir bewusst Verbindungen zu Kanälen vermeiden, deren Inhalte von unserer Botschaft ablenken und unsere Community spalten könnten.

                                    Proton ist weltweit tätig, und obwohl unsere Dienstleistungen allen unabhängig von politischen Ansichten zur Verfügung stehen und unsere Mission überall dieselbe ist, ist unser Wissen über die jeweilige lokale Medienlandschaft nicht überall gleich. In diesem Fall verfügte unser Team nicht über genügend Informationen zum französischen Medienmarkt, um eine fundierte Entscheidung zu treffen, und das geht auf unsere Kappe.

                                    Wir möchten außerdem klarstellen, was eine solche Platzierung ist und was nicht. Eine Partner- oder Sponsoringvereinbarung ist eine transaktionale Platzierung zur Steigerung der Bekanntheit, keine Unterstützung der Ansichten eines Content-Creators. Im Fall von Vincent Lapierre handelte es sich um ein Sponsoring eines einzelnen Videos, nicht um eine Partnerschaft.

                                      Diese Unterscheidung entschuldigt jedoch nicht, was hier geschehen ist. Es liegt in unserer Verantwortung, die Partner, mit denen wir zusammenarbeiten, sorgfältig zu prüfen, und dieser Verantwortung sind wir dieses Mal nicht gerecht geworden. Wir überprüfen nun unseren Auswahlprozess und unsere Richtlinien für Marketingagenturen, um sicherzustellen, dass dies nicht wieder vorkommt.

                                      Sollten Sie erneut einen solchen Vorfall beobachten, informieren Sie uns bitte. Wir sind auf Ihr Feedback und Ihre Aufmerksamkeit angewiesen.

                                        Companies like Proton sponsor creators across the political spectrum not because they agree with those creators, but because they're businesses and they're trying to get more customers. I saw Matt Walsh shilling for NordVPN. Does that mean I shouldn't use NordVPN? This insistence on absolute ideological purity that some people on the left engage in is just silly and counter-productive. And for the record, I'm pretty far left myself.

                                        @Phracker2Art it's neither silly nor counterproductive. Money is power, endorsement (by being a sponsor) lends credibility, and so on.

                                          @slothrop @joe It looks like reddit might be doing something that prevents the wayback machine from working, because this doesn't load, even on a clean firefox instance.
