Pretty sure the ruling outlasts his tenure, next guy won't give the same slack.
Why would a company dedicated to privacy concerns even entertain connecting to Google? I would imagine the customers using Proton would leave services that don't value privacy, so why is it being invited back in? Seems like Proton may be changing which customers they value while holding onto name recognition. Enshitification continues.
Sounds like a shady deal with Alphabet for a financially struggling company that may or may not have a board which decided they liked money better than their customers one day.
Don't let people tell you that "everything's fine, don't jump to conclusions". I have no idea who that is or if they have a stake in this outside or a random Lemmy user, but I would imagine a lot of people would have a financial or other interest in ensuring the public continues to think Proton is safe and private.
Be willing to question and verify. Don't be complacent.
The same bad actors have muddied the lines through limiting online discourse and pushing their message consistently enough to drag some well meaning, but lacking in critical thinking skills, people to join the cause.
Like algorithms for social media, they'll feed you little bits that become normalized, and sudde ly the stuff that was crazy 5 years ago seems tame and pointless to fight against now.
the beleaguered publisher makes “fundamental changes” to its “strategic vision” under its new private equity ownership,
Billionaire buys failing media company with former big name. Guess what kind of right wing garbage you'll start hearing from them now. Will it be how Ukraine should be left to die, how the Palestinians need to be exterminated, how unions are bad for the American dream, or how Biden is senile?
He's not an idiot. He pays attention, and has many smart people around him that push this agenda. The privacy breach is the point.
The real question should be why the conservative party considers it their business what people watch. Aren't they supposed to be for less government intrusion into your life? Seems they want to have much more control than the liberals and NDP who simply want us to stay out of everyone's private business.
Interesting that I just saw comnents the other day espousing Proton. Shame to see it go this direction based on those comments, but now I consider it could always have been a paid shill as corporations learn to mimic grassroot campaigns to control messages and set narratives. It'd be nice to see laws moving in that direction.
Funny how hearing a message associating someone with a movement, true or not, swayed your opinion. Almost as if it proves my point.
Don't forget to put those sunflower seeds in your pocket komrad, Slava Ukrainia and glory to the heros!
Hey wouldn't it be great if this was pushed all the way to the engineer proving that Mike is personally responsible, not his company, and thus sets precedent to remove the legal shields preventing asshole company executives from getting justice for ruining society into the ground for personal gain?
Funny you mention that, because I had written your version first, but changed it when I checked an original source (south park meme) to confirm the spelling. Sounding it out, I would say it's accurate that I'm hissing the c, slowing down and dragging out the end of the word.
