dess’ comment wasn’t a response to the long comment but response to my first comment, where i had originally said this:

dess you recommend protonvpn but like… protonmail takes money from CIA-backed orgs & talks about “freeing” hong kong…

and then realized i had mixed something up so i commented this:

i’m sorry – i mixed up two facts. it is protonmail who monetarily (and publicly) supports CIA-backed orgs, not the other way around (afaik).

and edited my first comment accordingly.

dess had responded prior to my edit, but i suspect knowing political leanings, proton would not be recommended regardless. i’m happy to be corrected. @dessalines@lemmy.ml
