He said the Trump administration pushed anti-trust suits to protect the "little guy." It's pretty clear that the issue is whether you kissed Trump's ass or not, as opposed to market monopolies.

I hope this is allowed. If not, please delete this post mods, and sorry!
So earlier today, ProtonMail CEO Andy Yen posted about his support for Gail Slater (Trump appointee). Protonmail is a privacy focused e-mail provider, so people are kinda mad about that appointee. As you can see, the CEO is doing a lot of damage control at this moment (Under the Proton_Team username). I know it's not in r/IAmA , so please delete this post if it's not allowed.

This is disappointing considering all the privacy protections Trump & co gutted and plan to gut more of. Now I no longer trust them with my fucking data
I JUST fucking reupped my paid plan and made it a family plan at that!

The mental gymnastics you'd have to pull to think the Republicans are the "party of the little guy" would make Simone Biles look like a 3-year-old at a Sunday morning 'Tumble Tots' class.

Yeah, I am super glad right now that I never managed to switch to it. I hated the interface so much that although I tried several times none stuck. They can fuck all the way off now.

What’s the real benefit of keeping this fuck on the board? I get preemptively kissing the ring, but I somehow doubt that ProtonMail was ever in Trump or his cronies’ scopes.

Redditors screeching because the CEO of the email that they use for their porn subscriptions likes a Trump pick. I doubt any of them gave a fuck about this pick before this, they just get violently ill at the idea that a company they patronize having a leader that doesn't 100% align with their own political views.
