bootlicker much? would you also be excited if Russia arrests Proton CEO for dubious reasons or is your reasoning based on ideology and tribalism?
@NegativeInf @scorp if your logic holds then why haven’t landline providers, Gmail, AOL, and ther companies come under the same scrutiny? The fact is all technology can and will be used outside of intended design.
Because they cooperate with authorities? Your phone line info, your email, your Facebook? It's all a subpoena or search warrant away.
Part of this arrest was due to management not cooperating with the government in the government trying to police dangerous content.
