    No, there is not an antifascist position on their statement. Only a ultracentrist position based on the reaction of their user base/market.

      Moving the goalposts. You said they need to drop the fascist from their sponsorship and they did. They also committed to not doing it in the future. They did exactly what you said.

      On top of that, companies are not your friends and they don’t need political positions. Not supporting fascists is perfectly adequate.

        No, I didnt’t say that. I’ve said:

        No, there is not an antifascist position on their statement. Only a ultracentrist position based on the reaction of their user base/market.

        See the original paragraph:

        I understand that they would have removed also the sponsorship of a feminist, vegan or antiracist that created discontent in their use base (by being feminist, vegan or antiracist).

          They have also said that if the user base finds their sponsorship or seeming alignment with any other divisive agenda, they welcome feedback.

          I’m not following their PR engagement, but if anyone feels strongly about them aligning with furbys, they are welcome to feedback.

              Sure. That’s more than many other companies do.

              Proton or any other company doesn’t owe anyone anything more than what they’re paid for. Everything else is CSR if you like.
