[People](https://infosec.exchange/@dymaxion/113830094066255511) [claims](https://zeroes.ca/@maggiejk/113833564745863396) [that](https://hachyderm.io/@nathandh/113726098463805441) [Andy (& Proton)](https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonMail/s/8TTLWvia67) is indirectly involved in fascism, racism and homophobia WHICH is not the case here. I’m indeed acting in good faith, but these people aren’t.

I’m not bristling over anything, it really adds nothing useful to the discussion. I’m not saying “trust me bro”, I’m saying you can find comments/replies like this if you browse a bit.

> Now in this case, as he apparently engages more with right wing lawmakers and lobbyists in the US, he seems to have swallowed their party’s marketing and branding without questioning it. He seems upset that a prominent Dem senators children are lobbyists but seems either unaware or unwilling to admit, that the person he _just_ called a “great choice” was an executive for a lobbying firm that fought _against_ California’s privacy legislation on behalf of big tech clients. If she is a great choice (and I’m giving him and her the benefit of the doubt that she might be), I’d really like to know why he feels that way, and why he seemingly applies a double standard with respect to lobbyists in her case.

I _agree_ with what you’ve said here, and this is the [updated response from Andy](https://www.reddit.com/r/ProtonMail/s/6qvIvafpYs)
