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

        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.

                  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.
