Right now a lot of us are trying to divest and diversify from having our entire lives on Google both because of the way Google spends its money and the long-standing privacy concerns seeming a bit more scary now.
What services have you switched to and what has your experience been? What do you like, what don’t you like, would you recommend them?
What happened with Proton?
Proton CEO endorsed Trump. Proton’s stance has always been against Big Tech and how Big Tech is bad and that’s all well and good. But, it’s contradicting when you praise or endorse an administration that’s more than likely going to let Big Tech roll over everyone.
This is a blatant lie. That never happened.
Was out of the loop on that so I just did the most cursory search. What do you think of this take on it?
I never saw anyone try to claim that he was MAGA. Even if he doesn’t necessarily support Trump, the tweet is still beyond tone-deaf as it’s still painting Trump in a positive light while Trump is trampling on our rights and the constitution.
Edit -
It should also be mentioned that Trump is also actively making things worse for privacy everywhere else, so why even bother cherry-picking that one nomination? It’s obvious that the way Trump works is that if you don’t follow his word he will just fire you. Even if this nomination may have a past that might show they would do some good things for privacy, if you’re not a pawn under Trump’s control then you will just be replaced. So the whole point is moot.
Additionally, look at the tweet in question “Republicans were the party of big business and Dems stood for the little guys, but today the tables have completely turned.” There is zero excuse for praising the Republican party and somehow not supporting Trump. They are directly connected and the two concepts cannot be divorced. Supporting the Republican party in any way literally means supporting Trump. Full stop.
