Why do companies that position themselves as privacy forward support bad ppl, bad ideas, and misinformation?
I recently found out Brave, FUTO, and Proton and have supported shady characters.
Are there any others?
I didn’t think it would be so hard to get away from big tech and privacy invasion.
Once I find a privacy and security focused product/app/service I like, I find out they support right wing extremists in one way or another.
Proton did respond to this.

Appreciate the link! I sifted through several posts about this but hadn’t run across Proton’s reply.
In fairness, those orgs don’t vet the people who sign up for the sponsorship program.
Oh really? I’m trying not to get swept up in the hivemind of Reddit, but the consensus over there seems to be that this kind of partnership is even worse than a simple ad read? I don’t really know.
