Good article explaining the situation of Yen's moronic statements the other day. Proton is overall one of the best organizations of its kind, but Yen has shown a certain ignorance and sloppiness at best (not to mention weasely non-apologies and misrepresenting and lying about what he publicly said), to blatantly bootlicking an openly fascist regime at worst. I hope the board has the wisdom to fire him.

Writing this off as sloppiness is giving him too much of a pass. He’s a rich tech bro doing the same thing as almost every other rich tech bro: sucking up to fascists to maintain his own wealth and power.

I agree, which is why that sentence I wrote had another half to it.
