Through who's lens?
When a person is raped and seeking an abortion from Texas, do they deserve to be stripped of privacy? What about countries that see being gay a crime?
I don't particularly care about proton outing people, but they should absolutely be restricted from advertising that they're more private or secure than any other provider out there.
In the US right now, we're seeing this unfold. With the talk about classifying transgender folks as nihilistic violent extremists, who fucking knows.
When freedom of speech breaks down, and the government is logging / tracking all social media on the front end and back end AND private communication tools are under attack, nothing is really safe anymore. Most disturbingly, once they deem X or Y to be unlawful, if you've EVER talked about X or Y, you're at risk.
Apples and Oranges comparisons here also, you're making some bad examples out of the gate that probably isn't worth breaking down.
When Proton advertises about being more private and secure. That's a lot to be said there than say Google, who dances badly to the tune of "we're not evil", lying to your face on a consistent basis. You won't ever know if Google is reading anything you've got in your little GMail box or what you decide to use in the services they offer. Do you truly believe that you're getting privacy from all fronts from the countless things Google offers you? It's too good to be true. Why do you think it knows so much about you when you use several of their services?
I could say the same about your comment.
Yeah because you have nothing intelligent to reply with. Don't be choking on those upvotes of similarly minded people who also probably have nothing intelligent to add or any answers to what I presented. Still doesn't paint you any smarter.
Dude why are you being so hostile for no reason ?
If people are going to rush in acting like an idiot, they're going to get treated like they're an idiot.
"No reason" my ass.
what an eloquent way to get blocked!
