Because governments aren't persecuting people in the middle of the spectrum.
Being in the center of the political spectrum doesn't make you "docile." What a ridiculous notion.
Then why do they need to spy on people? I mean, I agree with you. The center parties typically aren't persecuting massive amounts of people for their beliefs and "thought crimes", but they do still seem a little to happy to spy on people.
Probably more relevant in multi-party parliamentary systems, but someone pointed out that: if the left wing parties and the liberales agree on a policy, you should probably just implement it immediately. (Said about the Danish Red–Green Alliance and the Liberal Alliance, an eco-socialist party and a right-wing liberal party respectably).
Politics isn’t a line. Center in most countries is “fine with whatever the government tells me” from forced medical experimentation to genocide.
You’re right tho in that it does seem like people who reject the lies their government tells them may be slightly more likely to say things that upset you on the internet (since I’m guessing that’s what you mean by persicution)
> Their CEO seems to like trump
As far as I know this is a "rumour" that stems from him mentioning his approval over one of Trump's cabinet pick. Saying he likes Trump is a stretch.
Someone dug deeper into this topic: https://medium.com/@ovenplayer/does-proton-really-support-tr...
TL;DR: probably not a Trump supporter
It seems to me that security and surveillance conscious folks tend to sit on either extreme of the spectrum
