It’s not thought policing. Proton, a company all about privacy, is literally nothing without the trust of its user base. Aligning with someone who is not trustworthy by making a statement that makes no sense (literally saying Trump’s administration will be anti-big tech while it’s been gaining shit tons of support from the Tech Titans Musk, Bezos, and Zuck) completely debases that trust. Additionally it’s not thought policing because companies are not people and cannot think.

Even if it was thought policing, in line with the Social Contract of Tolerance, there is no room to tolerate, let alone vocally support, fascists.

In a sea of broken clocks, why would you appeal specifically to the one that’s got a swastika on it as though it’s the superior one?

Simply using “they” is nothing but fear mongering. Be specific and say who “they” are and why “they” matter. Otherwise you’re just telling people to trust you without providing any reason that you are trustworthy and why “they” aren’t.

This incident will be reported

… but why?

Do you have a Facebook/instagram account where you have marked your GF as your GF or tagged your GF in a lot of photos? More likely than not, Meta pays attention to those connections and shows ads to people it deems close to you based on your browsing history. And remember that Meta tracks user actions beyond what they do on Meta sites.
