  I for one, while being as anti-trump as it gets, do not judge a company and their service based on the political view of an individual that works there. Yes there are some principle decisions that one can make but the software itself is good and the service they offer.

  While I am deeply disappointed by the message, their actions in the industry have still been generally positive over the years and their services remain one of the only reasonable alternatives to google, apple, and microsoft’s cloud services. Outside of the VPN, Their UX still needs work before I can say its ready for the average person - but It’s still good enough for most people here who have some base level of technological literacy.

  Though I am now looking for and hoping for an alternative to crop up somewhere.

    Nope. They shared this from the company account on Bluesky and Mastodon. Image

        they literally claimed that the republicans, who are bankrolled by big tech and want to gut net neutrality and encryption, would be good for the internet and privacy

        Yeah, it wasn’t as bad as I was expecting, although still alarming.

      What’s a good non-EU alternative, if it gets to that point?

        For VPN, so many but I’m using Windscribe (based in Canada)
