Another one falls for the cult...

Tuta is not a CIA or Five Eyes honeypot.

Fuck this sucks to see. What an incredibly stupid thing to tweet. He got absolutely cooked in the replies as he deserved to. Trying to pass it off as purely based on policy then when users bring up a comparison of dems anti trust policy vs Republicans he is silent.

I got a year subscription and I almost finished moving everything over to protonmail. But I cannot support someone who genuinely thinks the Republicans are a positive force.

He probably knows more than me but after a brief search Gail Slater works for internet association, which is a lobbying group backed by all tge big tech you can imagine, after working for Trump for a bit, she then works for Fox and Ruku, which are certainly not spark any monopoly (Fox-Disney merger, happened in Trump term) and dumping concerns.

See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gail_Slater and https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Association

Honestly, I didn't know anyone working for Fox and Ruku can have the noble goal of breaking up the very company she works for. But I would love to be convinced.

I have found no evidence that the several anti-trust law suit (visa, google, apple, etc.) started at Trump term. If so, the DOJ is really taling their sweet time, because all these suit has just started...

There's no ethic consumption under capitalism, unfortunately.

Bookmarking and praying to learn this painful lesson for real this time

[fizz@lemmy.nz]

I completely disagree with that stupid phrase.

[zloubida@lemmy.world]

That's your right. But when I look at the things I own, I see the suffering it caused to other humans beings. My shirt was probably made in a sweatshop, my smartphone has Congolese children blood in it, my car is destroying pit environment … and I see no actual alternatives to these. I just try to change these things as little as possible.

I keep rseeing people claiming this about Proton. Is there any specifics i can read up on?

[red_october@lemmy.world]

That doesn't mean making an effort to minimize harm is pointless, it just means you'll never get it to zero. Touting that phrase all too often turns into a band-aid to excuse less-ethical choices, just because someone's always getting screwed somewhere.

[jaggedrobotpubes@lemmy.world]

Very, very stupid thing to say under the circumstances. Like top tier dumb.

Not incorrect, just fox news level of dumb.

[whatamlemmy@lemmy.world]

Completely unfounded dogshit last I checked. I remember something about Nord or PIA leadership paying to promote propaganda against Proton too.

[zloubida@lemmy.world]

That's true.

[grrgyle@slrpnk.net]

True but there are still differences and while individual impacts are small, like voting, it still matters which bad choice you choose.

[sunshine@lemmy.ca]

Proton just needed to be apolitical like Valve…

[italics2@lemmy.world]

Yea sure one compliment is comparable to a one milion dollar donation. /s
