I see this happen quite a lot in the Fediverse. It’s generally a progressive place, aims to be a safe space, but ultimately I see that there is a tendency to pressure people in matching an aesthetic, rather than actually think and discuss things rationally.
So now Proton has been labeled by someone and many people don’t want to go against this flow, because that is going against the aesthetic of fighting Trump/nazis/whatever, which makes you in turn a pro-Trump/MAGA/nazi, whatever. Nevermind that there is plenty of space to debate that attribution on the first place.
Comparing Andy Yen to big tech CEOs like the article does is really nonsensical though. 1 made a really stupid statement about Republicans (I don’t think that makes him a pro-Trump clown, let alone a Russian Nazi), the others literally backed him with million dollar donations, changed policies and stood on the podium with Trump.
Oh look, Andy Yen is a pro-Trump clown. Educate yourself before commenting next time.

saying that republicans do one thing right is not synonymous to being a pro Trump clown which in turn is not synonymous to being a russian nazi
It is even more ironic considered that Proton donated 20% of their revenue for new users to Ukraine back in 2022. “Russian Nazi” lol
sadly this is what happens when people parrot every sentiment they see online, everyone should try to become more literate
