You downplayed the positive remarks towards Trump by claiming it was “one of five” instead of a co-founder and CEO.

To give the full X post that you seemed to not be aware of when claiming “misinformation” through others;

(First sentence is what you’ve claimed people pull out of context) Great pick by @realDonaldTrump

The rest of his post was:

. 10 years ago, Republicans were the party of big business and Dems stood for the little guys, but today the tables have completely turned. People forget that the current antitrust actions against Big Tech were started under the first Trump admin.

Now if this is enough to dislike proton is up to debate, especially after their announcement back and forth afterwards. Claiming. Like you did, that it’s “just praising the choice for one role by one of five board members” though … Sounds like “downplaying” to me.

It’s the Google account people log onto with thats the issue from a security perspective.

That said neither a malicious update was so far identified nor anything that 2FA wouldn’t take care of.

This can happen to fdroid apps as well by the way. It’s just the downside of small or solo devs that they are on their own when it happens.

I’m actually more confident in the smarttube rev now I have to say. He disclosed it fast, flagged his own apps as compromised even without specific proof and published it from what I can tell pretty much right after finding out.
