Most of you said you’d switch to Proton Mail for the privacy, even if it meant giving up some of the convenience of Gmail.

There is not a single comment either on reddit or elsewhere that shows love for Trump. Supporting a Trump's choice doesn't mean supporting Trump.

Supporting his choices and the Republican party at large is the problematic part. I don't care if he loves Trump or not.

"Here is our official response, also available on the Mastodon post in the screenshot: Corporate capture of Dems is real. In 2022, we campaigned extensively in the US for anti-trust legislation. Two bills were ready, with bipartisan support. Chuck Schumer (who coincidently has two daughters working as big tech lobbyists) refused to bring the bills fora vote. At a 2024 event covering antitrust remedies, out of all the invited senators, just a single one showed up JD Vance. By working on the front lines of many policy issues, we have seen the shift between Dems and Republicans over the past decade first hand. Dems had a choice between the progressive wing (Bernie Sanders, etc), versus corporate Dems, but in the end money won and constituents lost. Until corporate Dems are thrown out, the reality is that Republicans remain more likely to tackle Big Tech abuses."

Is that quote supposed to make us agree with you? Reads as quite reasonable to me

It seems reasonable until the very end where they are supporting the fascist party., and it's not even accurate. Republicans are absolutely not regulating tech. At least Democrats had Lina Kahn, who the Republicans fired.
