    People in that link saying he just got an automated link, rather than a negotiated deal.

    Do you have thoughts around that?

      If they don’t get enough money from an advertising deal to be able to afford a short background check, they shouldn’t do the advertising deal.

      It’s up to Proton to make a public apology and change their policies so they don’t give money to fascists. Until then, they are a company that gives money to fascists.

            Sometimes that’s the case, but Proton have free tiers, so new customers can just cost more money on top of the cost to acquire them.

                Market share and user metrics are also valuable.

                But give no direct revenue, in fact for free customers they continue to cost the corp money.

                    It is of benefit to the company, I guess?

                    I think you have pegged me as a pro capitalist. Let me assure you to the contrary.
